How to book cheap train tickets from Newcastle to Edinburgh

Travelling in off-peak train times

Taking advantage of Off-Peak train tickets is another effective way to save on your train journey from Newcastle to Edinburgh. These tickets are generally cheaper and can be used during quieter periods, typically outside of morning (06:30-09:30) and evening (16:00-19:00) rush hours on weekdays.

Using the Railcard for 1/3 off

Railcards offer discounts of up to 1/3 on most tickets. There are various types of Railcards catering to different types of travellers, such as the 16–25 Railcard, the Family & Friends Railcard, and the Senior Railcard.

Split Tickets to save an average extra 30%

Another option to consider is splitting your tickets, which can save you around extra 30% on fares. Instead of purchasing a direct ticket from Newcastle to Edinburgh, 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 Newcastle to Edinburgh ahead of time and securing your tickets early, you can save up to 61% on the cost of your travel.

Group travels to save 1/3

If you are travelling in a group, be sure to check out group travel discounts. Many train companies offer a ⅓ off standard fares for groups of three to nine people, making travelling from Newcastle to Edinburgh more affordable for families, friends, or colleagues planning a trip together.
