Leuchars to Glasgow is often quicker via Dundee than via Haymarket:

But what should happen if someone travels via Dundee on a through ticket?
Let's say someone has an Off Peak Return (SVR) @ £30.50, which is not valid via Dundee (though is entirely reasonable via Dundee)
The cheapest combination of tickets valid for the journey via Dundee (both ways, returning same day) would be £31.40, a difference of 90p (consisting of Leuchars to Perth & Perth to Glasgow tickets), so it would seem to be a valid argument to say that in such a case the customer can only be charged 90pence. However the excess fare procedures are not consistent with such a charge being made...
