How to book cheap train tickets from Manchester to Edinburgh
Traveling in off-peak train times

Get 1/3 off with a Railcard
With a Railcard, you can save up to 1/3 on most rail fares. There are different types of Railcards available, such as the 16–25 Railcard, the Family & Friends Railcard, and the Senior Railcard, each catering to specific groups of travelers. You can discover more about Railcards here.
Split Tickets for greater savings
