is this a day trip or not?

If time does not matter, then going via Sheffield is cheaper. It would be quicker via Grantham but would cost more.

In the old fares manual (I don't have the new one), assuming you want the cheapest and assuming it's not a day trip:-

York - Sheffield SDS £3.80 (x2 to make a return)
York - Newcastle SOR £11.50
Newcastle - Berwick SOR £8.15
Berwick - Edinburgh SOR £8.50
Total £35.75

Although I do wonder if it's worth it when a SHF-EDB SOR is £40.50

For the up-to-date fares you'd have to ask a ticket office (or can NRES do staff fares?) or maybe hairhyhandedfool can look it up...

It is a bit out of the way to go via MAN, but it would almost certainly be the cheapest option, if a cheap AP fare is available on the sardine can express.

Assuming just one adult, a priv rate ticket would be:

York - Sheffield SDS £3.65 (x2 to make a return)
York - Newcastle SOR £12.35
Newcastle - Berwick SOR £8.75
Berwick - Edinburgh SOR £9.10
Total £37.50

Sheffield - York SOR £44.75

Manchester - Edinburgh SOR £23.25 (via Carlisle). No AP fares on this route are cheaper than this for a return.

If you can get to Birmingham for 0803, you can get the 0803 VWC to Edinburgh on Megatrain for £low. Just a thought

Yorkie, I have found EDB-DERBY £20 SOS or EDB-Chesterfield for £18.75, which the person can then use their emt pass to get back to nottingham. any way of making it cheaper?
cheers
