How to book cheap train tickets from Edinburgh to Forres

Get 1/3 off with a Railcard

You can choose a Railcard to help you save up to 1/3 on fares from Edinburgh to Forres for various reasons, such as your age (including the 16–25 Railcard or Senior Railcard) or options geared towards group travel (Family & Friends Railcard and Two Together Railcard). Discover more here.
