How to book cheap train tickets from Edinburgh to London

Season Tickets for frequent travel

If you frequently travel between Edinburgh and London, 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

Taking advantage of Off-Peak train tickets is another effective way to save on your train journey from Edinburgh to London. 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.

Split tickets to save an average extra 30%

Another option to consider is splitting your tickets, which can save you around an extra 30% on fares. Instead of purchasing a direct ticket from Edinburgh to London, you can split the route into two legs: A to C and C to B. This often turns out to be more affordable than buying a direct ticket, and you won't even need to leave the train… or often your seat!.

Book in advance to save an average of 61%

Advance Tickets are usually released up to 12 weeks before the travel date and can be significantly cheaper than tickets purchased closer to departure. By planning your trip from Edinburgh to London ahead of time and securing your tickets early, you can save up to 61% on the cost of your travel.
