Transfer Train to Edinburgh
- Time: 12 Apr, 12:30 -> 12 Apr, 16:41
- Duration: 5 hrs, 11 mins
- Departure: London Kings Cross
- Departure: Edinburgh
Transport: LNER First Class (Azuma Train)
Why First Class is Best for a Family of 8:
- Dining Included: Complimentary hot meals, snacks, and drinks (hot, cold, and alcoholic) are served at your seat. For a large family, this saves a fortune on station snacks!
- Space & Comfort: Reclining leather seats, extra legroom, and large tables that allow the family to sit together (usually in two sets of four across the aisle).
- Lounge Access: Start the trip stress-free at the First Class Lounge in King’s Cross, which offers free refreshments and a quiet space away from the station crowds.
- The View: Sitting on the right-hand side of the train provides the best “window seat” views of the North Sea coastline as you cross the border into Scotland.
Pro Tip for the Blog: If you are traveling with children, the “Azuma” trains have power sockets at every seat and the fastest Wi-Fi on the network—essential for keeping eight people entertained for four hours!
