On the 8th November, ScotRail recorded its busiest day of 2025.

They have exceeded their previous record of 326,000, with 337,441 journeys made.

It also marks another milestone as the second busiest day under public ownership.

Thousands of people travelled to a range of events, including rugby matches, which saw the demand heighten.

Peak fares were also scrapped in Scotland, further encouraging people to choose the train.

The removal of these fares has made rail travel cheaper and easier for customers.

“It was fantastic to see so many people choosing to travel with ScotRail on Saturday – our busiest day of the year.

“Our teams worked hard to deliver additional capacity and support the huge numbers travelling to the rugby and across the country.

“Major events are a big part of what we do, and it’s always great to see Scotland’s Railway playing its part in helping people come together to enjoy these occasions.

“With another packed week ahead, including Scotland’s match against Argentina at Murrayfield on Sunday, and the national football team’s game against Denmark on Tuesday, we’re ready once again to get fans to and from the action.”

David Ross, ScotRail Chief Operating Officer
