How to book cheap train tickets from Alton to Edinburgh (Waverley)

You can choose a Railcard to help you save up to 1/3 on fares from Alton to Edinburgh (Waverley) 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 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.

Group travels to save 1/3
