How to book cheap train tickets from Halifax to Edinburgh

Traveling in off-peak train times

Get 1/3 off with a Railcard

Split Tickets for greater savings
Another option to consider is splitting your tickets to save more on fares. Instead of purchasing a direct ticket from Halifax to Edinburgh, you can split the route into two legs: A to C and C to B. This is often cheaper than purchasing a direct ticket, and you usually won’t need to change trains or seats.

Book in advance to save an average of 61%
