Rejected petition Free train fee for anyone with a young Scot card or senior card.

I want the government to make travel by train free in Scotland for people under 21 with a young Scot card and people over the age of 60 with a senior card just like it works with buses.

More details

It's absolutely outrageous having to pay £5 for a child ticket to get to glasgow from a few stops away. It should be free if it's not a train going to the other side of the country or out of it.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Concessionary travel schemes in Scotland are a matter for the Scottish Government and Scottish Parliament, not the UK Government or Parliament.
