Train From Holyhead To Elgin
24 Answers
We need to go to Forres near Elgin next September, and would love to go by train, but I don't have the first idea of cost or indeed how we'd have to stage it. I tried to google it but it keeps coming up with Elgin to Holyhead. I believe we would have to get a train to Glasgow then to Aberdeen, but don't really know. I'd really appreciate ANY help. Thank you.

I know I've picked a random date (timetable doesn't yet go to September) but it seems feasible, albeit long, tedious and expensive.

That's a hell of a long journey! (Around 10 hours, changing at Crewe, Haymarket and Aberdeen outbound and possibly at Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Warrington Bank Quay on the way back). It's £157 return but, by purchasing two single 'Advance' tickets you could probably do it for a total of around £105.50.
Search here for your journey details but you'll need to leave it until later to book because 'Advance' tickets are currently only be sold for travel up until mid-June:

As a rough guide, you'll need to change 3 times with a total journey time of 10 hours.The single fare is ~£150 (£100 with a Railcard)
Hope this helps.

I also note the 'we' in your post. You might find it useful to purchase a 'Two Together' railcard. Alternatively, if you're over 60, consider Senior Railcards or, if you'll have children with you, a Family Railcard:

(Most Railcards can be purchased cheaper using Tesco Clubcard deals. Senior Railcards are offered at discounts by some local councils).

>>>Just had a quick look on The Trainline
Be extremely wary of using any booking site other than that of National Rail or those of rail operating companies. They often charge booking fees and they're rather too good at making major mistakes, such as issuing tickets which aren't valid for travel! (I used to run a railway station. We had loads of problems with tickets issued by the dreaded Trainline). The only independent ticketing service that might be worth considering is RedSpottedHanky.com. You can use Tesco Clubcard points to purchase half price tickets with them (and they don't charge a booking fee either).

if it comes to that, at 457miles, it's driveable in under 8 hours.
if you don't fancy doing it all in one go, here's a nice hotel at about the halfway point.
