Transport Economists’ Group

Formed in 1973, the Group provides a forum for people involved in transport economics to meet regularly and discuss matters of mutual interest. Membership is open to both economists working in transport and all others whose work is connected with transport economics. The aim of the Group is to improve the quality of transport management, planning and decision making by promoting lectures, discussions and publications related to the economics of transport and of the environment within which the industry functions.

Next meeting Wednesday 26 February 2025 at 18:00 to 19:30 GMT

Andy Park of Transport Scotland will speak on Evaluation of the ScotRail Peak Fares Removal Pilot Scheme.

As part of the Fair Fares Review, a pathfinder Pilot was established to encourage modal shift from car to rail by reducing the cost of travel at peak times. This ran initially for six months between 2 October 2023 and 29 March 2024 and eventually for a full year to the end of September 2024. The aims and objectives of the scheme were to improve awareness of rail as a viable travel choice and access to rail by reducing the cost of travel at peak times, thus enabling more people to travel more often, reducing private car travel as more people choose to travel by rail. The talk will cover Transport Scotland’s evaluation of the scheme and their further work looking at any longer term effects of the scheme.
