CIV/LNE Minimum Connection Time

[Teebs]

I'm planning a journey back from Switzerland to Scotland and am just looking at booking my CIV/London International ticket from KGX to EDI. Am I right in thinking the minimum connection time is 16 minutes? Brtimes.com shows 15 minute connection time at KGX and then a 1 minute fixed link from CIV. If that's right, then a 17.00 arrival should be fine for a 17.30 departure to Scotland.

I'm not too fussed about leaving a buffer for Eurostar delays as that's the whole point of getting the linked ticket and I'll be in first class so getting a seat shouldn't be an issue.

Thanks in advance.

You also need to add the minimum interchange time of 35 minutes at LNE, giving 51 minutes in total.

Thanks in advance.

Depending on the time of week and year (in July / August, or before then?), I'm not convinced that that might not be an issue, but at least making reservations are free.

See https://www.brtimes.com/!board?stn=LNE&show=info&date=20250522 for example. Although I think you did already.
35+1+15=51

Ah didn't realise I had to add both, thanks for that 18.00 train it is.

Book a seat, you'll be far better off

I've booked a seat I just meant it's not the end of the world if I miss it.
