Making the most of a long journey from Edinburgh

Edinburgh to Salisbury is best done as a weekend trip. Take LNER to London Kings Cross on Friday evening, stay overnight, then continue to Salisbury Saturday morning for the shuttle. This avoids a brutally early departure and gives you time in London too. Advance LNER fares booked 6–8 weeks out can be remarkably cheap.

💡

Book LNER advance fares 6–8 weeks ahead — they can be a fraction of walk-up prices and make the Edinburgh trip very affordable.
