How to book cheap train tickets from London to Edinburgh
Season Tickets for frequent travel
If you frequently travel between London and Edinburgh, a Season Ticket allows unlimited travel between these stations and is available for various durations, such as weekly, monthly, annual, or flexi. Enjoy the convenience of not having to buy a ticket for each journey, as well as significant savings.
Network Railcard for South East England
To save on train travel in South East England, consider getting a Network Railcard. For a £30 annual fee, this railcard offers 1/3 off most fares, including routes to and from London. Whether for standard or off-peak tickets, it's highly advantageous for frequent travelers within this region.
Traveling in off-peak train times
We recommend buying train tickets from London to Edinburgh during off-peak hours. These times are usually before 06:30, between 09:30 and 16:00, and after 19:00 on weekdays, as well as all day on weekends and bank holidays. Choosing Off-Peak train tickets means benefiting from cheaper fares and less crowded trains, making your journey more enjoyable.
Get 1/3 off with a Railcard
With a Railcard, you can save up to 1/3 on most rail fares. There are different types of Railcards available, such as the 16–25 Railcard, the Family & Friends Railcard, and the Senior Railcard, each catering to specific groups of travelers. You can discover more about Railcards here.
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 London 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%
Did you know that purchasing Advance Tickets can significantly reduce your travel expenses? On average, these tickets can save you an impressive 61% on fares. The best part is that the earlier you book (ideally up to 12 weeks in advance), the greater the savings!
