We’re making advance fares available on the day of travel available on some of our routes, saving our passengers money.

Customers can now make savings by purchasing an advance ticket on the east coast route between London and Scotland compared to the walk-up off-peak or anytime fares. These can be purchased via our website, at station travel centres and at ticket machines, and allow passengers to reserve a seat.

An advance fare bought on the day for travel between Edinburgh and London could cost £69, saving customers 50% on the price of an off peak single purchased on the day (£137). We have been leading the way in tackling fare complexity and we are currently participating in a single-leg pricing trial with the Department for Transport.
