Single ticket from EDI to Leuchars (St Andrews)?
The usual route from EDI airport to St Andrews is:
- Take the tram to Edinburgh Gateway/Haymarket station
- Take any train to Leuchars
- (Optionally: Take any bus 99x to St Andrews.)
Is it possible to do this on a single ticket, or does it really require three different ones? (Each step seems to be run by a different entity with its own ticket machines.)
Best Answer
If this is a regular daily journey can be done with a single ticket for the train and buses, unfortunately it doesn't include the Edinburgh trams. It's a rail+bus OneTicket which is a zonal season ticket available in weekly, monthly or annual versions.
It is also possible to buy a train ticket to "St Andrews Bus" which gives you a train journey to Leuchers and a bus journey to St Andrews. You can then buy a plus bus add on ticket for within Edinburgh including the tram (excluding the airport). However these would need to be done before getting to the station, e.g. the day before.

Contra the other answers, the national rail ticket machines will sell a ticket from Leuchars to Edinburgh Airport that allows using the tram. When you are controlled, on the tram, you get a free transfer tram ticket.
For the return trip, there's a train ticket machine near the M & S at EDI.
