How to book cheap train tickets from Leeds to Edinburgh

Traveling in off-peak train times
Off-Peak train tickets are generally cheaper than peak-time tickets, allowing travel outside morning (6:30 AM–9:30 AM) and evening (4:00 PM–7:00 PM) rush hours on weekdays. If your schedule allows for flexibility, choosing off-peak times for your trip from Leeds to Edinburgh can result in significant cost savings.

Get 1/3 off with a Railcard
You can choose a Railcard to help you save up to 1/3 on fares from Leeds to Edinburgh for various reasons, such as your age (including the 16–25 Railcard or Senior Railcard) or options geared towards group travel (Family & Friends Railcard and Two Together Railcard). Discover more here.
