How to book cheap train tickets from Elgin to Thurso
Group travel deals
Traveling with a group of 3 to 9 people? Most train companies offer group discounts, allowing you to save up to 1/3 on standard fares. This makes journeys from Elgin to Thurso more budget-friendly for families, friends, or colleagues traveling together.
Season tickets for frequent travelers
If you travel between Elgin and Thurso on a weekly, monthly, or annual basis, we'd highly recommend a season ticket, which provides unlimited travel between the 2 stations (during specific times) for a set price. Not only will you receive significant savings, but you'll also remove the stress of purchasing individual tickets.
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.
Book in advance
Booking Advance tickets at least 1 week before departure can reduce your fare by up to 61% on routes from Elgin to Thurso. Advance fares are usually released 12 weeks prior to travel and exclude Anytime fares, with savings depending on route availability.
