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

For only a small annual fee, you can save 1/3 on most fares in South East England, including routes in and out of London, with the Network Railcard. Covering both standard and off-peak tickets, this railcard is particularly beneficial for those who travel regularly within this region.

Traveling in off-peak train times

Taking advantage of Off-Peak train tickets is another effective way to save on your train journey from London to Edinburgh. These tickets are generally cheaper and can be used during quieter periods, typically outside of morning (6:30 AM–9:30 AM) and evening (4:00 PM–7:00 PM) rush hours on weekdays.

Get 1/3 off with a Railcard

You can choose a Railcard to help you save up to 1/3 on fares from London 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.

Split tickets to save an average extra 30%

Splitting tickets involves buying separate, cheaper tickets for different parts of your journey on the same train instead of just one ticket for the entire trip. For instance, if you're traveling from London to Edinburgh, you might find that purchasing a ticket from A to C, then C to B costs less than a direct ticket. This method is perfectly legal and often doesn't require leaving your seat.

Book in advance to save an average of 61%

Advance Tickets are typically released up to 12 weeks before the travel date and can offer significant savings compared to tickets purchased closer to departure. By planning your trip from London to Edinburgh ahead of time and booking your tickets early, you can potentially save up to 61% on your travel expenses.

Travel in a group to save 1/3

If you are traveling in a group, be sure to check out group travel discounts. Many train companies offer a ⅓ off standard fares for groups of three to nine people, making traveling from London to Edinburgh more affordable for families, friends, or colleagues planning a trip together.
