How to book cheap train tickets from Gainsborough to Edinburgh

Get 1/3 off with a Railcard
You can choose a Railcard to help you save up to 1/3 on fares from Gainsborough 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 for greater savings
Splitting tickets is a perfectly legal practice that involves purchasing separate, cheaper tickets for different segments of your journey on the same train instead of a single ticket for the entire trip.

Book in advance to save an average of 61%

Travel in a group to save 1/3
If you are traveling in a group of three to nine people, take advantage of group travel discounts, offered by most train companies, for a discount of up to 1/3 on standard fares.
