Travelling to Edinburgh from London? Book from Finsbury Park, instead of Kings Cross. Travel exactly as you normally would. Save 17%.

We now have a universal workaround for LNER fares.
For travel London <> all stations Newcastle-Edinburgh inclusive, DO NOT book to/from London:
1. Book to/from Finsbury Park
2. In the search results, click 'Filters' then 'Route options'. Under 'Go via ' enter Kings Cross.

A view down a deserted decumanus maximus at #Herculaneum. Width 12.3m flanked by wide raised sidewalks. The road consisted of pressed earth. Stone obstacles indicate vehicle traffic was restricted. Charred masts indicated shops provides sun awnings.#Archaeology #History 📷My own
