Do you have any railcards?
Do you want to do 1st or Standard?
Are you making a return journey?

Are you making just a single journey?

This particular day is being affected by engineering works and the timetable hasn't been finalised - there are therefore no advance fares yet. The only fares you can see are walk-up Off-Peak/Anytime fares.

I would advise you keep checking back - they will appear!

As per my previous post you won't find any Advance fares yet. They will be the cheapest options for you.

If you really wanted to go cheap.. Megabus have coach fares available for £16.00 for both adults..

Coach Take 9hrs tho ....

OP could also wait until Sept 5th when booking opens for the Sleeper Coach service from megabus.com.....

If you buy the Mirror today I believe you get a voucher to get discounted East Coast fares.

Any good?

Well there is only one train a day via the ECML...

I strongly advise waiting until the timetable is sorted out for that weekend. Keep checking every day ad Advance fares will eventually appear. Virgin do offer cheap First Advances, or if you buy a Standard ticket the upgrade is £15 per person single.

I would suggest also looking at Edinburgh - Kings Cross (to which you can then add a Glasgow - Edinburgh single)
However, as above, I would suggest waiting until the advance fares appear (if they actually do due to demand)
The 09:00 Edinburgh - Kings Cross is still showing as two different services, showing how uncertain things seem to be

Here is another alternative (fare per person)
09:37 Glasgow - Preston 11:56 £9 standard Advance single
12:47 Preston - Manchester - London £51.50 First Advance
