How to book cheap train tickets from Edinburgh to Newcastle

Travelling in off-peak train times

We recommend buying train tickets from Edinburgh to Newcastle during off-peak hours. These times are usually before 06:30, between 09:30 and 16:00, and after 19:00 on weekdays, as well as all day on weekends and bank holidays. Choosing Off-Peak train tickets means benefiting from cheaper fares and less crowded trains, making your journey more enjoyable.

Using the Railcard for 1/3 off

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 travellers. You can discover more about Railcards here.

Split Tickets to save an average extra 30%

Splitting tickets is a perfectly legal practice that involves purchasing separate, cheaper tickets for different segments of your journey on the same train instead of a single ticket for the entire trip. For example, if you are travelling from Edinburgh to Newcastle, you might discover that buying a ticket from A to C, and then another ticket from C to B, is more economical than a direct ticket.

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 Edinburgh to Newcastle 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 planning a trip with a group of three to nine people, take advantage of ⅓ off standard fares with group travel discounts, offered by many train companies, perfect for journeys with your family, friends, or colleagues.
