How to book cheap train tickets from Edinburgh (Waverley) to Plymouth

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 (Waverley) to Plymouth.

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%

For example, if you are travelling from Edinburgh (Waverley) to Plymouth, 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.
