I can't believe these fares are still only £1 for an Anytime Day Single each way (see Would this be honoured? East Kilbride to Tweedbank for the history of it)
Scotrail have been aware of it for over two weeks, they have confirmed on Twitter that the £1 fares would be honoured.
I can only assume this was intended to be some sort of offer, but with perhaps more generous terms than intended, as £1 fares are not completely unbelievable for long journeys as they are available for long journeys on Stagecoach owned/partly owned Train Companies (even some premium peak time services such as the non-stop Preston to Glasgow), and surely a mistake would be corrected within far less than two weeks?!
It's also appearing on adverts for Thetrainline and GWR.
There is, however, nothing to stop a commuter doing Edinburgh-Glasgow, or Falkirk/Shotts/Bathgate or any other intermediate station using a Neilston ticket for a cheaper commute, while a Perth/Stirling to Edinburgh commuter stands to save even more.
Although the Scotrail site only sells these tickets up until mid-April, thetrainline.com sells them up until late July (and you can book up to 10 journeys in one transaction, paying by debit card you only pay 75p in fees) and ticket offices can sell tickets up to 1 year in advance.
The £1 Anytime Day Single fares include:
