How to book cheap train tickets from Bathgate to Edinburgh
Travelling in off-peak train times

If your schedule allows for flexibility, choosing off-peak times for your trip from Bathgate to Edinburgh can result in significant cost savings.
Using the Railcard for 1/3 off
You can choose a Railcard to help you save up to 1/3 on fares from Bathgate to Edinburgh 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 for greater savings
Another option to consider is splitting your tickets to save more on fares. Instead of purchasing a direct ticket from Bathgate to Edinburgh, you can split the route into two legs: A to C and C to B.
