Determine which train station in London will serve as your point of departure. Although almost all of the train stations in London offer service to Glasgow, Euston Station and Kings Cross Station are the most commonly used.
Visit the Web site of any of the major rail companies that offer service into Scotland, such as Virgin, Great North Eastern Railway or ScotRail, to check timetables. You can also book train travel from London to Glasgow by calling Rail Europe at (888) 382-RAIL or by visiting the link below.
Consider using the services of a travel agent to help you with the finer details of your travel arrangements.
Purchase your last-minute tickets directly from the ticketing kiosks at the station before you depart. This will work best during non-peak hours.
Decide which of Glasgow's two main train stations are best for your arrival, Glasgow Central Station or the Queen Street Station. Both stations are located near the center of the city, about two miles apart from each other.
Choose first-class accommodations for your train trip if you need more room to stretch out or if you need an electrical outlet for your laptop computer.
Consider booking a sleeper train to get to Glasgow overnight. This is a great way to save money, since it combines the cost of hotel accommodations and travel together.
Use the Glasgow Subway, nicknamed "Clockwork Orange" due to the color of its cars, for the most efficient way to get around the city.
