an edinburgh to glasgow peak ticket is about £14 i think and its only a 50 minute journey with trains every 15. Can you just get the 2 tickets; Aberdeen > Edinburgh > Glasgow?
Hi,
I'm looking to go from Aberdeen down to Glasgow on or around the 14th August .. but I'm going absolutely scatty with the First Scotrail website. I can get from Aberdeen to Edinburgh for £9.00 on the train.. but the cheapest train I can get to Glasgow is £34 !
I don't want to get a bus (lifes too short to bus) but I cannot figure out the disparity between the fares to Edinburgh and the fares to Glasgow? Is there any day / time best suited for cheap A-> G travel? Any days/ times to avoid?
I'm looking for a one way ticket but even a cheap £19 apex would be good.. except they don't seem to do those Aberdeen to Glasgow, and when I tried booking one Glasgow to Aberdeen (not using the out ticket but using just the back..) it complained mightily that it could not find any services!
help!!!

I've never found a significantly inexpensive G<>A train. I'm guessing the cheap price for the A<>E route is either the competition (First ScotRail & GWER) or because it's one of the routes that First ScotRail is made to do reasonably cheap (like Glasgow<>Stirling and Glasgow<>Edinburgh).
Looks like Aberdeen to Glasgow via Edinburgh may be your best bet.

yeah it's beginning to look that way.. unless I can convince my parents to meet me in Edinburgh instead.
