Cheap train tickets from Edinburgh to Birmingham New Street

Tickets from Edinburgh to Birmingham New Street can be quite expensive, so we thought it would be best to highlight some ways you can save money on your travel:

• The biggest price difference comes when travelling off-peak, so it’s important you plan ahead and book in advance. Advance tickets go on sale around 12 weeks before the travel date and the earlier you book, the cheaper you can travel. You can also set up a ticket alert and we’ll email you when the tickets are available.

• Railcards can save you up to a third on your train tickets across the UK. For journeys like this one that means big savings so remember to use yours when booking or sign up if you don’t already have one.

• The easiest way to save a little bit of money is to book directly with Avanti West Coast. We don’t charge booking fees and also have a price promise which means that if you see a cheaper price for the same train journey, we’ll refund you the difference.
