How to book cheap train tickets from Ipswich to Edinburgh
Season tickets for frequent travelers
If you travel between Ipswich and Edinburgh on a weekly, monthly, or annual basis, we'd highly recommend a season ticket, which provides unlimited travel between the 2 stations (during specific times) for a set price. Not only will you receive significant savings, but you'll also remove the stress of purchasing individual tickets.
