Transportation from Glasgow to Edinburgh

Trains from Glasgow Queen Street station run every 15 minutes and take 50 minutes to Edinburgh for about $20 each way. With that frequency, you don't really need a train schedule, but How to Look Up Train Schedules and Routes Online gives you the DB train schedule link and tips for using it.

Of course , Laura is absolutely right , Just a slight addition - there are a few daily runs from Glasgow Central .so your choice will depend on 1 ) where you are staying and 2) When you want to go . We went from Queen Street which was a block or so from our hotel , but see how the logistics work best . By the way , while you are in Glasgow , look at Central Station , it's magnificent , a sort of St; Pancras in Scotland .

If you are going directly from the Glasgow airport, there is a bus that takes you to the Queens Street Station. You can buy your ticket on board r stop at the info booth just outside international baggage claim and immigration. They can point you to the right bus. It's very easy. I've never taken a taxi to Glasgow city centre.

We did the reverse a number of years ago, Edinburgh to Glasgow. The coach service was cheaper than train, ran frequently and had under floor luggage storage for our gear.

The bus is easy, fast, cheap. Public bus at Glasgow airport takes you to the bus station. Buses leave frequently for Edinburgh.

The Citylink coach service mentioned above is a Scottish company and should not be confused with the Citylink in England which was a parcel delivery company and which went bust on Christmas Eve losing nearly 3,000 jobs.

Thanks for all the replies. Great information that will help us plan the trip.

Nigel - that's sad to hear about the English Citylink going under and taking 3,000 jobs with it . . . and on Christmas Eve, of all times! Don't mess with the Royal Mail ?!?!?
