What is the best website to buy train tickets in UK?

Question

I need to buy a train ticket from Edinburgh to London. Is there an official website to do this? I don't want to by from one I just search for because I don't know how legit they are.

Answer 1

www.national rail enquiries, you can get all travel details, times, connections, and buy your ticket on line.

Answer 2

Hi there Stephanie, the following website should be what you are looking for. :o)

Answer 3

Due to the large number of train operators, there are many official websites to buy train tickets for Britian, most of which sell most tickets. A good selection is:

https://secure.scotrail-online.co.uk/_ap... - Cheap Scotland-London sleeper tickets, prices start from £19 one-way but sell out fast.

http://www.gner.co.uk/ - 10% discount on GNER fares. Sells most tickets.

http://www.virgintrains.co.uk/ - Sell Virgin's Saver Half fare which is useful if advance purchase tickets have sold out in one direction of a return journey. Sells most tickets.

http://www.megatrain.com/ - A limited number of cheap offers, see map at http://www.megatrain.com/uk/timetables/i...

For Hull Trains advance purchase tickets book by telephone [phone]), you may check fares at http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/

No online sales for Britain - Ireland or within Northern Ireland.

You need to contact GNER who operate the service or the Train Line who many people recommend for tickets. GNER offer a 10% discount for on line booking.

Answer 5

www.thetrainline.com or go to the virgintrains website (which I cant remember the address for) ive used both of these two in the past with no problem

Answer 6

I have used First Great Western, was very easy. Don´t know if they run that rout.Worth a try.

Answer 7

www.thetrainline.com or the website of any train operating company.

Whichever website you choose to use, they will all be powered by the same software and it is really the trainline website dressed up to look like the webiste of the company you are using.

one of the better ones is www.tpexpress.co.uk

Answer 8

Only GNER trains run that route so you would probably get the best deals on their own website. GNER is legit and is secure for buying tickets online.

Other websites like national rail enquiries and the trainline.com are still good as they search all the companies, but you will probably get the best deals of the train company itself.
