How to book cheap train tickets from Edinburgh to Swansea

Traveling in off-peak train times

We recommend buying train tickets from Edinburgh to Swansea during off-peak hours.

Choosing Off-Peak train tickets means benefiting from cheaper fares and less crowded trains, making your journey more enjoyable.

Get 1/3 off with a Railcard

There are various types of Railcards catering to different types of travelers, such as the 16–25 Railcard, the Family & Friends Railcard, and the Senior Railcard. For more information on Railcards and how they can help you save, visit Railcards here.

Split tickets to save an average extra 30%

Splitting tickets involves buying separate, cheaper tickets for different parts of your journey on the same train instead of just one ticket for the entire trip. For instance, if you're traveling from Edinburgh to Swansea, you might find that purchasing a ticket from A to C, then C to B costs less than a direct ticket. This method is perfectly legal and often doesn't require leaving your seat.

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 Swansea 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, be sure to check out group travel discounts. Many train companies offer a ⅓ off standard fares for groups of three to nine people, making traveling from Edinburgh to Swansea more affordable for families, friends, or colleagues planning a trip together.
