Rail campaigners are celebrating after councillors voted to save discounted rail travel for older and disabled passengers in the Kingdom.
Campaigners had branded plans to scrap the concessionary scheme – which offers off peak travel for only a £1 – “utter madness”.
The scheme allows passengers who are over 60 or disabled to travel at the heavily discounted rate between Fife stations.
But members of Fife Council’s policy and coordination committee voted against a working group’s proposals to axe the policy in favour of more bus travel.
