Cheap Edinburgh train tickets as direct journey to Glasgow on sale for as little as £5

As the price of almost everything is rising across the UK through the cost of living crisis, commuting and travelling can be expensive.

Train ticket prices are renowned for being costly to many, with return fares from the major cities costing a pretty penny for commuters. However, to help out a little, Scotrail have slashes the price of tickets for popular routes in a huge sale, with a number of cheap fares to and from the capital.

Edinburgh is a relatively easy city to travel to on the train, with links from Glasgow stations, Aberdeen, Inverness, Falkirk and Dundee.
