How to book cheap train tickets from Edinburgh to Perth

Book in advance

Book in advance

<a href="https://uk.trip.com/trains/guide/uk-train-off-peak-times/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Travel during Off-Peak train times</a>

Travel during Off-Peak train times

For a quieter, better-value trip, try to travel during Off-Peak hours rather than the busiest weekday periods. Although exact times can vary between train companies, the general rule is to avoid the 6:30 AM–09:30 AM and 4:00 PM–7:00 PM windows. At weekends and on bank holidays, Off-Peak pricing typically applies throughout the entire day.
