Travel Connections

The tracks don't go everywhere and Scotrail have produced a really useful section of their website which describes links to other transport options. See it here along with a guide to download. It includes details of bus and ferry links, airport connections and cycling by rail. Things that you might not know about include all in one ferry and rail tickets, a cycle rescue service for rail passengers, bus travel in town (included in the price of a train ticket) and airport links. Something travel companies are very poor at is joining up methods of transport. Scotrail is leading on this, lets hope the other train companies catch up!

Cheap East Coast Fares

East Coast Trains are offering cheap tickets through two newspapers - Scotland on Sunday and the Scotsman from today. All you need to do is collect three parts from a password to apply for your tickets. The East Coast railway was formerly known as National Express East Coast and before that GNER. Trains run from Aberdeen, Inverness, Glasgow, Perth, Stirling and Edinburgh to destinations along the east coast of England.
