Transport
From Glasgow: Trains (from
Glasgow Queen Street Station) to Edinburgh are every half hour, and cost approx.
£4 for a single journey. The journey time is approx. 1 hour.
From Glasgow Prestwick Airport:
Trains and buses run regularly and take you to the centre of Glasgow.
Journey time is approx. 30 mins.
Arriving at Edinburgh
Like many major cities, Edinburgh
suffers from heavy rush hour road traffic, and if you are arriving at the
airport, the quickest way to get into town is to use the airport bus service.
Airport Bus: (www.flybybus.com)
There is an excellent bus service from the airport to the city centre. Buses
leave around every 10 minutes throughout the day, a return ticket costing £5
and a one way ticket £3, with a journey time of around 25 minutes. You can buy
tickets from the driver The bus leaves from right outside the UK arrivals hall,
there is a kiosk marked "Airlink" it is normally a blue and white
double decker, number 100. If you arrive in the International arrivals hall,
walk through the terminal and follow the signs for buses. Edinburgh Airport is
not that big so you can't miss the departure point. Stay on the bus until the
end of its journey where it arrives at Waverley Bridge, right outside the main
railway station. From here, it would be easiest to get a taxi (there is a taxi
rank straight across the road from where the bus stops, and also a taxi rank
inside the rail station itself), with a journey from here costing around £5-£7,
again depending on the volume of traffic.
There is also a good bus service
within Edinburgh itself, and a journey to the venue/accommodation from Waverley
would cost you £1 with a journey time of around 30 minutes. If you wish further
details on this then please contact
the organisers and we can email you directions.
Airport Taxi: A taxi to the
venue/accommodation will likely cost around £20-£30 depending on the level of
traffic. If you are travelling in a group, you can get up to 5 people in a taxi
and splitting the cost may be the easiest option.
Arriving at Edinburgh Waverley
Railway Station: Again from here, the easiest option is to get a taxi. There
is a taxi rank in the station, just follow the signs. Cost as above, around £5-£7
depending on traffic. As above, if you wish to use the local bus service, please
contact the organisers and
we can email you directions.
