How to book cheap train tickets from Thurso to Edinburgh

Travelling in off-peak train times

Using the Railcard for 1/3 off

Instead of purchasing a direct ticket from Thurso 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%
