How to book cheap train tickets from Edinburgh to St Bees

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 Bees. 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

You can choose a Railcard to help you save up to 1/3 on fares from Edinburgh to St Bees for various reasons, such as your age (including the 16–25 Railcard or Senior Railcard) or options geared towards group travel (Family & Friends Railcard and Two Together Railcard). Discover more 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 St Bees, 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 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 Bees ahead of time and booking your tickets early, you can potentially save up to 61% on your travel expenses.

Travel in a group to save 1/3

If you are traveling in a group of three to nine people, take advantage of group travel discounts, offered by most train companies, for a discount of up to 1/3 on standard fares. This can make traveling from Edinburgh to St Bees more affordable for families, friends, or colleagues planning a trip together.
