Edinburgh Train Times
Where to find train timetables online
Individual train times for GNER and First Scotrail services can be found on their websites while Virgin Trains uses an online planning system for both timetables and ticket booking.
All Edinburgh train times in one place
All three train operators have an online system in place that you can use for finding timetables and for booking your ticket online. What can be confusing about the operators' system is the fact that they all display the same information, all timetables for all the trains, whether they operate them or not.
GNER and Virgin use the TheTrainLine system. See our article on how to use TheTrainLine for tickets and times.
