Strathclyde All concessionary rail journeys have to start and end at a station inside the Strathclyde scheme’s boundaries.
For journeys of 10 miles or less within the Strathclyde area, the basic concessionary fare is 90p single and £1.30 return.
Half the standard fare is charged for journeys over 10 miles.

Thanks but it's stuff like this which (I suspect) is designed to deliberately complicate/ confuse matters.
Is it better, for example, to go for a 'half the standard fare is charged for journeys over 10 miles' or buy an off peak return (or two singles) without any sort of auld bastard discount?

I once turned up at Partick Subway/ Blue Train station with my auld bastard ticket and asked 'what's the cheapest way to get to Helensburgh with this?' The ticket guy said 'take the bus'.

Blunt but accurat. The 1c stops at Merkland street.

One takes the Expressway and pretty much heads straight for H'burgh.
The other goes through Partick and almost every housing scheme between the Erskine Bridge turnoff and H'burgh itself. It takes c 3 hours and a packed lunch is provided. Unfortunately toilets are not.
