How to book cheap train tickets from Edinburgh to St Andrews

Traveling in off-peak train times

Taking advantage of Off-Peak train tickets is another effective way to save on your train journey from Edinburgh to St Andrews. These tickets are generally cheaper and can be used during quieter periods, typically outside of morning (6:30 AM–9:30 AM) and evening (4:00 PM–7:00 PM) rush hours on weekdays.

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 to save an average extra 30%

Another option to consider is splitting your tickets, which can save you around an extra 30% on fares. Instead of purchasing a direct ticket from Edinburgh to St Andrews, 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%

Advance Tickets are typically released up to 12 weeks before the travel date and can offer significant savings compared to tickets purchased closer to departure. By planning your trip from Edinburgh to St Andrews ahead of time and booking your tickets early, you can potentially save up to 61% on your travel expenses.
