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.

Book in advance to save an average of 61%

One of the most effective ways to get cheap train tickets is to book in advance. Advance Tickets are usually released up to 12 weeks before the travel date and can be significantly cheaper than purchasing tickets closer to the departure date. By planning your trip from Northampton to Edinburgh ahead of time and securing your tickets early, you can save up to 61% on the cost of your travel.

Traveling during off-peak hours

The important thing to note about Off-Peak train tickets is the designated off-peak time. In large cities and towns, the off-peak time for train travel from Northampton to Edinburgh usually starts at 9:30 am from Monday to Friday, while in other areas it starts at 9:00 am. By planning your journey during these off-peak hours, you can take advantage of cheaper and more comfortable train fares, ensuring a smoother travel experience and avoiding the crowded peak hours.
