How to book cheap train tickets from Edinburgh to Carnforth
Split Tickets discount
It may sound odd, but splitting your journey into smaller segments by purchasing separate, cheaper tickets can often lead to significant savings, all while you remain in the same seat for the entire trip. The best part? Trip.com handles these splits for you, meaning you don't have to do any painstaking planning.
Using a Railcard for 1/3 off
A wide selection of Railcards is available, many providing 1/3 off most train tickets — from the 16-25 and 26-30 Railcards to Family & Friends, Two Together, Network and Senior options. With the 16-17 Saver, you can even get 50% off. Purchasing and storing your Railcard in the Trip.com app is quick and simple, ensuring instant access to generous discounts whenever you travel.
Book in advance
Save up to 61% on your journey from Edinburgh to Carnforth by booking Advance tickets at least 1 week ahead. These tickets are typically available up to 12 weeks before travel, with savings subject to route availability and excluding Anytime fares.
Travel during Off-Peak train times
For a quieter, better-value trip, try to travel during Off-Peak hours rather than the busiest weekday periods. Although exact times can vary between train companies, the general rule is to avoid the 6:30 AM–09:30 AM and 4:00 PM–7:00 PM windows. At weekends and on bank holidays, Off-Peak pricing typically applies throughout the entire day.
