Ayr MSP Siobhian Brown is urging over-50s to take advantage of ScotRail's discount card.
ScotRail's "Club 50" members can travel off-peak anywhere in Scotland for just £15 between February 13 and March 26, with return travel up to a month after the outward journey.
Cardholders also get other discounts and benefits all year round.
Commenting Ayr MSP Siobhian Brown said: "This is a fabulous scheme that will help people save money.

"I only found out about it recently and I hope it will encourage more people to leave the car at home and use the train.
"Rail transport is an environmentally friendly way to travel. The greenhouse effect of gas emissions per kilometre on railway transport is 80 per cent less than cars.
"It's also a great boost on tourism for the many businesses across my Ayr constituency and indeed Scotland.
"I hope everyone eligible takes advantage of this scheme or looks into the other railcards available for young people, families, veterans and those living with disabilities."
