Luis Mellon: Train is best - fast and frequent. Enquire about the cost of 'Season Tickets' - may be cheaper than buying separate tickets each day even with a railcardwww.nationalrail.co.uk
Lizzette Wendroth: Take the train. It's really cost-effective and by far the fastest.
Tamatha Neubaum: It is planned that investment in Glasgow-Edinburgh rail routes and services will see up to six trains an hour on the principal route via Falkirk, with express services travelling from city centre to city centre in around 35 minutes. Including investment in other central Scotland routes this could mean as many as thirteen services between the cities every hour. Cheap day returns are available from Glasgow to Stirling. The journey takes under an hour making it accessible within a day. Express trains to Glasgow also stop at Stirling, taking you to Glasgow within 20 minutes....Show more
Kaylee Schmittou: You have really answered your own question.It is a choice between t! he speed of the train and the cheapness of the coach. There are no other fare reductions as you already hold student railcards. But a couple of other factors for you to consider.With the tram works in Edinburgh, the western approaches to the city are restricted which adds to the peak problems for the coach in both directions.The M8 between Glasgow and Edinburgh suffers from fogs in autumn and early spring, as well cold snaps in winter. These weather conditions will slow down traffic and can be the catalyst for accidents. (Only a fortnight ago, an accident on the M8 near Kirk o'Shotts brought traffic chaos which led to two football matches being cancelled because teams and supporters were caught up in the melee!)The only other thought is to put a notice on a students noticeboard seeking a car sharing arrangement. Even if only part way (such as Bathgate to Glasgow), it could save quite a bit.I wish I could be more positive; sorry....Show more
