Here are some of our top tips to help you save money on your train travel.

Traveling during off-peak hours

Taking advantage of Off-Peak train tickets is another effective way to save money on your train journey from Oxford to Edinburgh. These tickets are generally cheaper than peak-time tickets and can be used during less busy periods, typically outside of the morning and evening rush hours.

Travel in a group to save 1/3

Many train companies offer GroupSave options, which provide a discount of up to 1/3 on standard fares. This makes traveling from Oxford to Edinburgh more affordable for families, friends, or colleagues planning a trip together.

Split Tickets to save an average extra 30%

Splitting your tickets involves buying separate tickets for different parts of your journey instead of one ticket for the entire trip. This method can often be cheaper and is perfectly legal. For instance, if you're traveling from A to B, you might find that purchasing a ticket from A to C, then C to B costs less than a direct ticket.
