Retro High Speed Scot We look forward to welcoming you on board our Summer 2024 train, the Retro High Speed Scot to Edinburgh on Saturday 24th August. Timings are now confirmed. Tickets are being posted. If your ticket hasn’t arrived by Thursday 22nd August, please contact us by email or send us a DM via our Twitter/X page... The special train will depart from Crewe and stations in Cheshire and Greater Manchester, before travelling over the Pennines to Huddersfield and Wakefield. The train will then cruise along the East Coast Mainline towards Edinburgh Waverley. Once the stomping ground of the legendary Intercity 125 train, these British Rail icons have been consigned to the history books on mainline services, so this is a very rare opportunity to sample one at high speed. The Retro High Speed Scot will arrive into the Scottish capital at around midday, giving you ample time to sample the sights and sounds of Edinburgh. The Edinburgh Festival and Fringe will be in full swing, so you'll be sure to find bustling streets and live performances. The train will depart back towards Yorkshire and Cheshire stations in the late afternoon, giving you just over four hours to explore Edinburgh. Timings Timings below are now confirmed:
