Trains to Edinburgh

Travel Links

For unlimited bus travel around the city, buy an Edinburgh Plusbus ticket with your train ticket for £3.80 (£2.50 with a Railcard), or catch one of Edinburgh’s open top bus tours or airport buses that all call at the train station. 

There’s 24-hour parking close by, and taxis are always waiting to greet new arrivals to the city. For the more active, bicycles can be hired in the city and are a great way to view all of Edinburgh's attractions.

Attractions

The city’s most famous landmark, Edinburgh Castle is rightly placed on a pedestal, or at least a hill. Be there at 1 o’clock when, save for Sundays, the castle gun is fired. Hopefully not loud enough to wake up the pandas of Edinburgh Zoo, these famous bears are the only ones you’ll find in Britain. For those of more refined tastes, congratulate yourself on picking the best train service to Edinburgh by enjoying a tipple of whiskey at the Scotch Whisky Experience. Positioned close to Edinburgh Waverley station, this attraction also makes for the perfect way to toast the city a fond farewell.
