| Jun 9, 2015 at 19:42 | comment | added | Mike Scott | This question can't really be answered in its current form. If you want to get from Kings Cross station to Waverley station then the train is probably quickest. If you want to get from Heathrow airport to Edinburgh airport, then flying is certainly quickest. From where in London to where in Edinburgh will you be travelling, and at what time? | |
| Jun 9, 2015 at 13:57 | comment | added | BIDeveloper | @MarkMayo Fair enough, but the OP was asking for the fastest route. | |
| Jun 9, 2015 at 13:55 | comment | added | Mark Mayo | @Jim unless things have changed, it was the Caledonian Sleeper. Which then broke down in Manchester, crawled to Glasgow, and I had to get a local to Edinburgh anyway :/ | |
| Jun 9, 2015 at 13:55 | comment | added | Mark Mayo | @DavidRicherby thinking back, it was the Caledonian sleeper from Euston that I took, which goes via Manchester and Glasgow. | |
| Jun 9, 2015 at 13:20 | comment | added | BIDeveloper | Euston is the West Coast - you need Kings Cross for the East Coast to Edinburgh! | |
| Jun 9, 2015 at 13:17 | comment | added | David Richerby | @MarkMayo The fastest trains to Edinburgh leave from King's Cross, not Euston. | |

| Jun 9, 2015 at 11:38 | comment | added | WelshGandalf | Some people say you can only book 3 months in advance for the train. In general, this is true, but for some long distance routes - like London-Edinburgh or London-Newcastle, you can book up to 5 months or more in advance. I suspect this is because they are in direct competition with the air route. The source - and link to book - is the East Coast web site | |

| Jun 9, 2015 at 8:57 | comment | added | CMaster | @Phil plus security etc faff time. All of which the train lacks. Flying is still probably slightly quicker door to door mind. | |

| Jun 9, 2015 at 8:51 | comment | added | Phil | Where in London you are will have a major influence on the time - a flight from Stansted to Edinburgh is 1h20, but from some parts of London it can take an hour to get to Stansted. | |

| Jun 9, 2015 at 8:38 | comment | added | Mark Mayo | Fastest? Plane. But the train is the next best option from Euston to Waverley. That was when I was there 5 years ago, so not putting as answer, others can confirm. | |
