Trains from Aberdeen to Southampton

You will find an at-seat catering service on most ScotRail trains, serving hot and cold drinks and light snacks for your journey across Scotland. If you are travelling in First Class, you’ll get a free hot or soft drink and a sweet or savoury snack for the journey. You can also buy refreshments from the trolley service. Free WiFi is provided on the route from Aberdeen to Edinburgh Haymarket, where we advise you to stop and change to an Avanti West Coast service.

All London North Eastern Railway (LNER) services feature a buffet car called The Foodbar, usually located either in coach J or H.

If you travel in First Class, the food and drink are complimentary but subject to availability.

Most CrossCountry trains offer free WiFi onboard. A catering service is available between 06:00 and 20:00 on this particular route. You can also take your bike with you free of charge, but we advise you to book a space in advance.

Starting your journey from Aberdeen, you'll travel through Scotland and the North West of England, where you'll be blown away by the outstanding natural beauty of the Lake District, the Peak District, and the Yorkshire Dales. Make sure you grab a window seat and have your camera ready to capture some stunning shots. After taking the train from Wolverhampton, you'll head towards the South East of England and stop at Oxford, the home of the oldest university in the English-speaking world and one of the fastest-growing and most diverse cities in the UK.

A few stops later and you'll find yourself in Winchester, with the chance to admire the South Downs National Park, one of many stunning green attractions en route to Southampton.
