Using the Railcard for 1/3 off

You can choose a Railcard to help you save up to 1/3 on fares from Hamilton West 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

Splitting tickets involves buying separate, cheaper tickets for different parts of your journey on the same train instead of just one ticket for the entire trip.

This method is perfectly legal and often doesn’t require leaving your seat.

Group travels to save 1/3
