How to book cheap train tickets from Edinburgh to Mallaig
Traveling in off-peak train times
Off-Peak train tickets are generally cheaper than peak-time tickets, allowing travel outside morning (6:30 AM–9:30 AM) and evening (4:00 PM–7:00 PM) rush hours on weekdays. If your schedule allows for flexibility, choosing off-peak times for your trip from Edinburgh to Mallaig can result in significant cost savings.
Get 1/3 off with a Railcard
You can choose a Railcard to help you save up to 1/3 on fares from Edinburgh to Mallaig 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 to save an average extra 30%
Splitting tickets is a perfectly legal practice that involves purchasing separate, cheaper tickets for different segments of your journey on the same train instead of a single ticket for the entire trip. For example, if you are travelling from Edinburgh to Mallaig, you might discover that buying a ticket from A to C, and then another ticket from C to B, is more economical than a direct ticket.
Book in advance to save an average of 61%
Advance Tickets are typically released up to 12 weeks before the travel date and can offer significant savings compared to tickets purchased closer to departure. By planning your trip from Edinburgh to Mallaig ahead of time and booking your tickets early, you can potentially save up to 61% on your travel expenses.
Travel in a group to save 1/3
If you are traveling in a group of three to nine people, take advantage of group travel discounts, offered by most train companies, for a discount of up to 1/3 on standard fares. This can make traveling from Edinburgh to Mallaig more affordable for families, friends, or colleagues planning a trip together.
