Book cheap train tickets from Edinburgh to Inverness

Finding cheap train tickets from Edinburgh to Inverness doesn't have to be a challenging task. With the right knowledge and by using available discounts and travel options, saving money with Trip.com can become effortless. Here are a few valuable tips to help you save money on your train travel.

Get 1/3 off with a Railcard

Various Railcards are available for different groups and can save you up to 1/3 on fares from Edinburgh to Inverness. You can choose the 16–25 Railcard or Senior Railcard based on your age. Additionally, the Family & Friends Railcard or Two Together Railcard are good options for group travel.

Split Tickets to save an average extra 30%

Splitting your tickets involves purchasing separate tickets for different segments of your journey instead of a single ticket for the entire trip. This method is legal and can often result in cheaper fares. For example, if you are travelling from A to B, you might discover that buying a ticket from A to C, and then another ticket from C to B, is more economical than purchasing a direct ticket.

Travel in a group to save 1/3

Many train companies offer GroupSave options that provide a discount of up to 1/3 on off-peak fares. This can make traveling from Edinburgh to Inverness more affordable for families, friends, or colleagues planning a trip together.
