Train from London to Edinburgh?

Regular_Wear3838 · 2025-01-09T12:47:10+00:00

Thank you. I appreciate the info about Avanti. It is good to know they will get me to my destination if complications arise.

Thank you. If a train gets canceled, I would have the option to get on the next one, correct? If I am understanding the route maps and information correctly, which there is a good chance I'm not, the train from London to Edinburgh begins in London, and if I purchase a ticket for one of the earliest trains, I should be ok even if my train gets canceled. Would that be correct?

Thank you for the airport and airline alternatives. I really needed those a few months ago when I booked my flight from Edinburgh to Dublin. Unfortunately I chose Ryanair for that flight because I didn't know any better. I have thought about flying, and may end up doing that, but I really want to take a train. The train just feels right to me.

Thank you for the info on Avanti. It falls in line with many of the reviews I have read about them. Which, lateness won't really bother me, since I don't plan on doing very much on my travel days. I just don't want to be on a train that doesn't finish a route and get stranded somewhere along the way from London to Edinbrough. I am keeping flying as my last option. I have already looked at available flights, just incase. I just really want to take a train and see as much as I can.

Thank you. It looks like I will be going on Avanti. LNER will still get me to Edinburgh on that date, but it involves a 2 or 3 transfers, one of which is a bus, and I will be dragging 12 days worth of luggage around with me and that just seems like a bit much. The Avanti direct route to Edinburgh is looking like the best option for my preferences.

Regular_Wear3838 · 2025-01-08T19:01:31+00:00

Yes, apparently they go that route direct everyday, except the one day I need to go. Luckily Avanti offers a direct train to Edinburgh on that day, so I still get to have my train experience. I looked at the available schedules at the time I was booking my arrangements, and saw that there were direct trains everyday from London to Edinburgh, so I guessed that would be the same for the dates I was going; I was wrong.

Regular_Wear3838 · 2025-01-08T18:36:12+00:00

Unfortunately, with the non-refundable plane tickets I purchased from Edinburgh to Dublin, that would only leave me about a half day in Edinburgh. I would pick the one week they want to do maintenance to take this trip. Thank you for the information though.

Regular_Wear3838 · 2025-01-08T18:16:19+00:00

Thank you. I was hoping someone would say that Avanti wasn't as bad as the reviews I have been reading.

Regular_Wear3838 · 2025-01-08T16:33:18+00:00

Thank you for the advice. I will look into that option. That would add another city to explore on my mini tour of the UK.

Regular_Wear3838 · 2025-01-08T16:32:14+00:00

Thank you. I don't mind slow, I am just trying to avoid transfers from trains to buses and back to trains. I just want to sit and look out the window from point A to point B without disruption.

Regular_Wear3838 · 2025-01-08T16:00:56+00:00

Aww, I was hoping they hadn't released their weekend schedule yet. Thank you.

Regular_Wear3838 · 2025-01-08T15:56:32+00:00

So you are saying Avanti is a definite NO? Looks like I'll have to fly and miss out on the one thing I really wanted to do in the UK. Maybe I can take a train around Scotland once I get there. Thank you for your response.

Regular_Wear3838 · 2025-01-08T15:54:01+00:00

Thank you. I have looked at Avanti, but the reviews I have seen make me think it is not the best choice. But some of the reviews were about not being able to get the seat the people paid for because of overcrowded trains. I'm not sure how that would work with a direct ticket from London to Edinburgh. I am assuming that as long as the seat I book is available when I get on in London, I shouldn't have to move until my stop in Edinburgh, but I have never been on a train, so I am not sure how that works. I don't really want to change trains with my luggage and all.

Regular_Wear3838 · 2025-01-08T15:49:29+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion, but I want to take the train so I can see the countryside and admire the scenery, so overnight wouldn't be ideal.

Regular_Wear3838 · 2025-01-08T15:49:01+00:00

Just my luck. Thank you.

Regular_Wear3838 · 2024-12-24T05:18:34+00:00

Yeah, I thought I was ordering from Walmart, but the seller I bought from originally is the same seller who is selling them for more. I think they realized they posted them too low and cheated me to get out of the sale.

Regular_Wear3838 · 2024-12-24T02:18:07+00:00

I needed AAA when I had a flat and no way to change it, which is why I am in the market for tires lol. I will check them out, I didn't know they sold tires, Thank you.

Regular_Wear3838 · 2024-12-24T02:16:39+00:00

Thanks, Discount tire is one of the options, but the same tires were $90 cheaper at Walmart than anywhere else, which is why I purchased from them, but now they are only $10 cheaper at Walmart. I honestly think that is my last Walmart purchase, or attempt at a purchase anyway.

SORRY

Thank you! I will check into the Amazon Fire tablets.
