On top of giving passengers more choice about when they travel, and increasing capacity by more than 50 percent, the new timetable will include an early morning commuter service, leaving Newcastle at 5.26am and arriving in Edinburgh at 7.20am.<\/p>\n
The journey between Edinburgh to Newcastle is gorgeous, with stunning views of the North Sea and the Northumberland coast. Although catching that 5am\u00a0train will require a very early morning, you\u2019ll be rewarded with a world-class sunrise.<\/p>\n

Tickets start as low as \u00a38 one way, and that\u2019s without a railcard, which is part of the reason that Newcastle is one of\u00a0favourite\u00a0day trips from Edinburgh<\/a>. Now, that trip will be easier than ever.<\/p>\n Although most services will remain the same when the timetable shifts, TPE \u2018encourages customers to double-check any regular journeys they make\u2019. The provider also said that it is \u2018pleased to be introducing improvements that offer customers more choice, greater flexibility, and a better experience when travelling with us\u2019.<\/p>\n Other improvements to the line include reducing journey times and increasing the number of trains between London<\/a> and Yorkshire<\/a>, the North East and Scotland, and a new hourly service between Sheffield<\/a> and Leeds<\/a>. East Midlands services between Nottingham<\/a> and Lincoln<\/a> are also set to double.<\/p>\n Did you see that the affordable train operator Lumo is expanding with three new UK routes<\/a>?<\/strong><\/p>\n
