This is an operational matter for ScotRail. The Scottish Government does not hold this information however the econometric analysis that was undertaken for Evaluation of the Peak Fares trial and the Outline Business Case for Permanent removal will be repeated to assess the initial impact of permanent removal. Towards the end of the first 12-month period this will be augmented by survey work to get a full picture of the impact of the policy
