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

Travelling in off-peak train times

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 travelling from Macclesfield to Edinburgh (Waverley), 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.
