Aberdeen to London Kings Cross

It’s quite a long trip but you can save money on your trip from Scotland by using Advance single tickets which you can pick up by setting a Ticket Alert that will tell you when they’re available. Save even more by not paying a booking fee with LNER and taking advantage of our Price Promise which means we refund the difference of any cheaper option you might find.

Yes, there are direct trains with LNER or you can change at Edinburgh for this seven hour trip, the first part of your journey taking around two and half hours.

This option isn’t available at the moment.

In addition to LNER, other rail lines going through Aberdeen are from operators Scotrail, CrossCountry and Caledonian Sleeper.

The premier line is The East Coast Mainline but London King’s Cross also provides access to rail lines from Hull Trains and Grand Central Trains.
