Getting Around by Train

Trains to Edinburgh Waverley and Haymarket Stations

Edinburgh has two main train stations: Edinburgh Waverley, which is in the city centre and Haymarket in the West End.

Both stations operate security barriers so you need to buy your tickets before boarding the train (for some services you can't get onto the platform without a ticket). There are other stations in the area which operate local and fast express services, tickets for these trains can be purchased at the station you're travelling from or on board the train. Remember that it may be better value to buy your ticket at the station rather than on the train.
