How to book cheap train tickets from Manchester to Edinburgh
Traveling in off-peak train times
Off-Peak train tickets are generally cheaper than peak-time tickets, allowing travel outside morning (6:30 AM–9:30 AM) and evening (4:00 PM–7:00 PM) rush hours on weekdays. If your schedule allows for flexibility, choosing off-peak times for your trip from Manchester to Edinburgh can result in significant cost savings.
Get 1/3 off with a Railcard

Split Tickets for greater savings
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 Manchester to Edinburgh, 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%
