How to book cheap train tickets from Dumfries to Edinburgh Gateway

Travelling in off-peak train times

If your schedule allows for flexibility, choosing off-peak times for your trip from Dumfries to Edinburgh Gateway can result in significant cost savings.

Using the Railcard for 1/3 off

Instead of purchasing a direct ticket from Dumfries to Edinburgh Gateway, you can split the route into two legs: A to C and C to B.
