How to book cheap train tickets from Edinburgh Gateway to Bristol Temple Meads

Travelling in off-peak train times

Off-Peak train tickets are generally cheaper than peak-time tickets, allowing travel outside morning (06:30-09:30) and evening (16:00-19:00) rush hours on weekdays.

Split Tickets to save an average extra 30%
