A 10-Day UK Itinerary by Public Transport (Train & Bus)

A UK trip without a car isn’t a compromise. The country has one of the densest railway networks anywhere, the cities worth your time sit a short hop apart, and skipping a hire car also means skipping the one part of a UK holiday that most overseas visitors are nervous about, which is driving on the left.

I’m British, and I’ve lived in four of the seven cities on this itinerary: London, Oxford, Bath and Edinburgh. Jess and I have travelled this kind of route by train more times than I can sensibly count. We’re often asked whether our other UK itineraries, which are written for a self-drive trip, can be done by public transport instead. They can, but they were planned around a car. This one is planned around the train and the coach from the first day to the last.

Over ten days the route runs from London up to Glasgow, taking in Oxford, Bath, Liverpool, York and Edinburgh on the way. Every leg is a scheduled train or coach you can book today. Alongside the day-by-day plan, I’ve put real detail into how UK trains work, because knowing how to buy and ride them is what separates a cheap, easy car-free trip from an expensive and stressful one.

 

Can You See the UK in 10 Days by Public Transport?

Yes. Ten days is enough time to see London and Edinburgh, add Glasgow, and string four more cities in between, all by train and coach. The cities on this route sit on fast, frequent rail lines, the longest single journey is around three and a half hours, and none of them needs a car once you arrive.

The route runs London (two days), Oxford (one day), Bath (two days), Liverpool (two days), York (one day), Edinburgh (one day) and Glasgow (one day). The order matters: each city is a sensible rail step from the last, with no doubling back, so you’re always moving forward and the travelling days stay short.

The one real limit is the Scottish Highlands. They’re hard to reach without a car, and this itinerary leaves them for another trip rather than pretending otherwise. More on that further down.

 

How to Get Around the UK by Train and Coach

Two networks will carry you the whole way: the train and the long-distance coach. The train is faster and more comfortable, the coach is cheaper and slower, and most trips use mostly train with the odd coach leg where it makes sense.

The trick to both is the same, which is booking ahead. UK rail fares have a reputation for being baffling and expensive, and they can be, but mostly only if you turn up and buy a ticket on the day. Plan a little and the same journeys become very reasonable.

 

Booking UK Train Tickets

UK trains have two broad ticket types that matter for a trip like this. Anytime tickets are fully flexible and can be bought right up to departure, and they’re expensive. Advance tickets are tied to one specific train, they can’t be changed freely, and they’re often a fraction of the Anytime price. For a planned itinerary, Advance tickets are what you want.

Advance fares are usually released around twelve weeks before the travel date, sometimes a little more. The cheapest ones are sold in limited numbers and go first, so the single best thing you can do for your rail budget is to book each leg as soon as its date opens up.

We book UK train tickets through Trainline, which we’ve used for years and find the simplest place to buy tickets across the whole network. You can also book directly with each train operator for the same fares, but for a multi-city trip the convenience of one account holding all your tickets is worth a little. Most tickets are now e-tickets you show on your phone, which removes the old faff of collecting paper tickets from a station machine.

 

Railcards: A Third Off Almost Every Journey

If you qualify for a railcard, buy one before you book a single ticket. A railcard costs £35 for the year in 2026 and takes roughly a third off most rail fares, so on a trip with this much train travel it pays for itself on the first journey or two.

The ones worth knowing: the Two Together Railcard, for two named people who travel together, is the obvious pick for a couple, and is what we normally use.

The 16-25 Railcard, also valid for full-time students over 25, and the 26-30 Railcard cover younger travellers. The Senior Railcard is for anyone aged 60 or over. The Family and Friends Railcard takes a third off adult fares and 60% off children’s fares for up to four adults and four children travelling together, which makes it the one to get for a family trip.

 

Splitting Tickets to Save Even More

Here’s a quirk of the UK system that can save a surprising amount. It’s often cheaper to buy several tickets covering different parts of one journey than a single ticket for the whole thing, even though you sit on exactly the same train the whole way. This is called split-ticketing, and it’s completely legal under the National Rail Conditions of Travel.

The one rule that catches people out is that the train has to actually stop at the station where your tickets split. As long as it does, you can stay in your seat. Trainline and a few dedicated split-ticket sites will find the splits for you automatically, so it’s worth a quick check on the longer legs.

 

The BritRail Pass: For Overseas Visitors

If you’d rather not think about individual fares at all, there’s the BritRail Pass. It’s a single pass covering unlimited rail travel for a set number of days, and for this itinerary the 8-day consecutive pass lines up well, carrying you from London all the way to Edinburgh and Glasgow. It comes in first and standard class.

Two things to know. The BritRail Pass is sold only to non-UK residents, and it must be bought before you arrive in the country. Anyone who’s lived in the UK in the last six months isn’t eligible. Whether it works out cheaper than booking Advance fares yourself depends on how organised you are: book every leg early and you may beat the pass on price, but if you value the simplicity and the freedom to change plans on the day, the pass earns its keep.

 

Coaches: The Budget Option

The UK’s long-distance buses are called coaches, and they’re the budget floor for getting between cities. National Express and Megabus run the widest networks. Fares are often well below the train, especially booked ahead, but journeys take a good deal longer, sometimes two or three times as long on the northern legs.

We’d reach for the coach on the shorter hops, London to Oxford for instance, or where it simplifies a journey that would otherwise need a change. For the long legs up to Scotland the time cost is steep, and an Advance rail fare booked early is often not much more expensive. As with trains, the best coach deals go to those who book early for a specific departure.

 

Luggage and Station Logistics

One practical point makes the whole trip flow better. Every major UK station has a left-luggage office where you can store bags for a few hours or the day. That means a transfer day needn’t be a write-off: you can drop your bags on arrival, see the city, and collect them before your onward train.

UK platforms are also often announced fairly late, especially at the big terminus stations, so give yourself a few minutes at the station rather than planning to sprint for a platform.

 

A 10-Day UK Itinerary by Public Transport

With the transport sorted, here’s the route day by day. Each city section opens with the journey to reach it, how long that takes, and then what to do once you’re there.

 

Days 1 and 2: London

No trip to the UK feels complete without time in London, which is why this itinerary opens with two full days in the capital. I lived in London for several years, and even now I find two days only scratches the surface.

There’s more here than anyone could see in two days, from the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace and the Tower of London through to afternoon tea and a wander around Harrods. With only two days, pick a small handful of things you really want to see rather than trying to tick off the lot.

If you plan to pack in the big paid attractions, the London Pass usually saves money, bundling entry to a long list of sights into one ticket. Our review of the London Pass works through whether it adds up for the way you like to travel.

Most visitors arrive in London by air, and the city’s airports are all linked to the centre by train or coach. We have a separate guide to getting into central London from the airports that’s worth a read for planning your arrival. For a tighter plan of the city itself, see our two-day London itinerary, and if you can spare more time before the route proper begins, there’s a longer six-day London itinerary as well.

For accommodation, London has something at every budget. Start with the London listings on Booking.com, our usual way of booking when we travel, or the curated apartments on Plum Guide if you’d rather a flat than a hotel.

 

Day 3: Oxford

London to Oxford is the gentlest leg of the trip. Fast trains from London Paddington reach Oxford in about an hour, and the Oxford Tube coach takes around an hour and a half and runs right through the night, as often as every ten minutes. Either makes for an easy start to the day. An Advance rail single booked ahead is usually well under half the on-the-day fare.

I lived in and around Oxford for years, and it remains one of my favourite small cities in England. It’s the home of the oldest university in the English-speaking world, and it’s stood in for all sorts of fictional worlds on screen, including several of the Harry Potter filming locations.

A day is enough for Oxford itself, as the centre is compact and easily walked. A good way to get under the skin of the colleges, many of which limit public access, is a guided walking tour of the city and the university. After that, drop into one of the old pubs, such as the Turf Tavern, tucked down an alley off the main streets, and perhaps try your hand at punting on the river. For a view over the whole skyline, climb the tower of the University Church of St Mary the Virgin, right beside the Radcliffe Camera.

For more ideas, see our guide to spending a day in Oxford. Jess loved the city so much she also wrote up her own thoughts on an Oxford day trip. For accommodation, see the options for Oxford on Booking.com.

 

Days 4 and 5: Bath

Oxford to Bath is the first leg with a change, usually at Didcot Parkway, and it takes anywhere from about an hour and a quarter to two hours depending on how well your connection lines up. It’s a cross-country route rather than a fast main line, so check the timetable and aim for a good connection rather than the first train you see.

Bath is where I lived for five years, so this is home turf. It’s a small, walkable, honey-coloured Georgian city built around its Roman past, and two days here is time well spent. The set-piece architecture, the Royal Crescent and the Circus, two of the grandest Georgian terraces in Britain, is free to admire simply by walking up to it. Bath Abbey anchors the centre, and Pulteney Bridge crosses the River Avon with a row of little shops built along its full span.

The obvious place to start is the Roman Baths, the remarkably complete remains of the bathing complex the Romans built around the city’s natural hot spring. Tickets are date-variable and it pays to book online in advance. Expect to pay somewhere from £23.50 up to around £33 for an adult, depending on the day and the season.

A second day in Bath gives you time for a half-day trip to Stonehenge, around an hour away and easily reached by organised tour or local bus. We cover Stonehenge, along with more of Bath itself, in our guide to a Stonehenge, Bath and Cotswolds day trip. For where to stay, take a look at the accommodation options in Bath.

 

Days 6 and 7: Liverpool

Bath to Liverpool is the longest single journey on this itinerary, around three to three and a half hours with one change, typically at Bristol Temple Meads or Birmingham New Street. Start it early so the afternoon in Liverpool isn’t lost to travelling. This is also the leg where the coach is worth a serious look: it’s slower again, but it can run more directly, which some travellers prefer to a cross-country change with luggage.

Liverpool is the home of the Beatles, and Beatles fans will want the Beatles Story on the waterfront, the largest permanent exhibition devoted to the band. Adult entry is £20 and includes an audio guide.

The Royal Albert Dock itself anchors a visit. The Victorian dock complex has been reborn as a waterfront of museums, bars, shops and restaurants. One thing to know before you go: the dock’s museums are mid-transformation. The Merseyside Maritime Museum and the International Slavery Museum are both closed for a major redevelopment and aren’t expected to reopen until around 2028, and Tate Liverpool has moved to a temporary home nearby at RIBA North on Mann Island while its building is redeveloped. The dock and its waterfront are open as usual, but plan around those closures rather than being caught out by them.

Football fans can take a stadium tour of Anfield, home of Liverpool FC, which takes in the club museum. Two days gives you the Beatles, the dock and the waterfront with room left for the football, a cathedral or two, or simply more time by the Mersey. For accommodation, see the listings for Liverpool on Booking.com.

 

Day 8: York

Liverpool to York runs east across the Pennines, passing Manchester and Leeds, and takes about two and a quarter hours on a good connection, usually changing at Manchester. Buses also run this route but take a good deal longer.

The walled city of York was founded by the Romans nearly two thousand years ago, and it’s seen its fair share of history since. For a time it was ruled by the Vikings, who knew it as Jorvik. Today the medieval city is the draw. A walk through the Shambles, a narrow medieval street where the timber-framed upper floors lean in until they almost touch, is the classic York moment.

York also has more miles of intact city wall than any other city in England, and you can walk long stretches of it, taking in the gatehouses, known locally as bars. The highlight, though, is York Minster, the city’s vast Gothic cathedral. Standard adult entry is £20 and includes the Undercroft museum; for £26 you can add the climb up the Central Tower, 275 steps to one of the finest views in the north of England. It’s a working church, so check the calendar in case a service closes part of it during your visit.

A single day suits York well, as the historic core is small and walkable. For more, see our guide to spending two days in York. For accommodation, check the York listings on Booking.com.

 

Day 9: Edinburgh

York to Edinburgh is the easiest of the long legs, a direct train up the East Coast Main Line in around two and a half hours, much of it running right along the coast. It’s a lovely journey in its own right, so take a window seat.

Edinburgh is the other city on this route I’ve called home, four years of it, and arriving into Waverley station still feels a little like coming back. It’s a strikingly beautiful place, a medieval Old Town of cobbled closes climbing to a castle on an extinct volcano, with an elegant Georgian New Town laid out below.

Edinburgh Castle is the obvious starting point. Adult tickets are £23.50 booked online and £26 on the day, and in peak season booking ahead is close to essential. From the castle, the Royal Mile runs downhill through the heart of the Old Town to the Palace of Holyroodhouse, with the Scotch Whisky Experience and plenty of distractions along the way.

If you want to see several of the royal sights, the Royal Edinburgh Ticket bundles Edinburgh Castle, the Palace of Holyroodhouse and the Royal Yacht Britannia with 48 hours of hop-on hop-off bus travel, for £81 as an adult. Our review of the Royal Edinburgh Ticket runs the numbers on whether it saves you money.

A single day is a tight introduction to a city that rewards far longer, which is worth bearing in mind when you reach the pacing notes below. For more ideas, see our suggestions for two days in Edinburgh and our guide to Edinburgh’s hidden gems. For accommodation, see the Edinburgh listings on Booking.com.

 

Day 10: Glasgow

Edinburgh to Glasgow is the shortest hop on the itinerary, about 50 minutes on the frequent ScotRail service between Edinburgh Waverley and Glasgow Queen Street. Trains run several times an hour, so there’s no need to plan your day around a timetable.

Glasgow is Scotland’s largest city, and it has a different character to Edinburgh, bolder and less buttoned-up, with a music scene and an art and architecture story that runs through everything. The Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum is the city’s grandest museum and, like most of Glasgow’s civic museums, free to enter. The Riverside Museum, Glasgow’s transport museum on the Clyde, is also free, and Glasgow Cathedral is the only medieval cathedral on the Scottish mainland to survive the Reformation of 1560 virtually intact. Glasgow also has a strong street art scene, with a mural trail through the city centre. The West End, around the university, is the place to wander, eat and watch the city go about its day.

Glasgow also works the other way round. If you’re flying home from Edinburgh, you can do Glasgow as a day trip from your Edinburgh base instead of moving hotels, 50 minutes each way and no need to repack. Either way, for longer in the city see our 2-day Glasgow itinerary and our guide to day trips from Glasgow. For accommodation, see the options in Glasgow.

When the trip is done, getting home is easy. Both Edinburgh and Glasgow have their own airports with domestic and international flights, and Edinburgh airport is just eight miles from the centre, reached by tram or by the AirLink bus. If you’re heading back to London, fast trains run from both Edinburgh and Glasgow in around four and a half hours. There’s also the overnight Caledonian Sleeper, which runs to London Euston from both cities every night except Saturday. We’ve written up our own experience of taking the Caledonian Sleeper, and you can find more options in our guide to getting between Edinburgh and London.

Adjusting the Pace

Ten days is a real constraint, and the place this itinerary feels tightest is the end. Day 9 gives Edinburgh a single afternoon and evening, and Day 10 hands the finale to Glasgow. Both cities can comfortably carry far more time than that.

If the Scotland end feels rushed, you have a few easy ways to loosen it. Compress Oxford into a day trip from London rather than an overnight stop, which frees a whole day. Drop one of the two Liverpool nights. Either change buys a second night in Edinburgh. You can also treat Glasgow as a day trip from an Edinburgh base, as above, and keep all your Scottish nights in one city.

We’re often asked whether this itinerary works for families with children. Jess and I don’t have kids, so this is second-hand rather than first-hand, but the advice from family-travel friends is consistent and it matches the flex advice above: slow the pace and cut a city or two. Focusing on London, Oxford, York and Edinburgh, with two or three days in the larger cities, makes for a calmer trip with younger travellers along.

 

What About the Scottish Highlands?

The most common question we get about this route is why it stops at Glasgow rather than pushing on into the Highlands. The answer is that the Highlands and public transport don’t pair well.

There are exceptions. The West Highland Line from Glasgow to Fort William and Mallaig is one of the great railway journeys anywhere in the world, and towns such as Fort William, Oban and Inverness are all reachable by train. But the Highlands proper, the glens, the lochs, the small villages and the single-track-road country, are built around the car. Buses exist, but they run infrequently, and a few days spent trying to see the region car-free can become a few days mostly spent waiting at bus stops.

If the Highlands are the part of Scotland you most want to see, our suggestion is to give them a trip of their own. Hire a car just for that section, or take a small-group tour that handles the driving for you, rather than trying to fold the region into a public transport itinerary where it won’t get the time it deserves.

 

What We’ve Learned Planning UK Trips by Public Transport

After a lot of UK trips by train, a few habits have become second nature, and they’re most of the difference between a smooth trip and a stressful one.

Book the moment fares open. Advance tickets are released about twelve weeks ahead and the cheapest sell first, so a date in the diary to book each leg is the best money-saving move there is. Buy a railcard before anything else if you qualify, because every ticket after that is a third cheaper.

Plan the route around the connections rather than the map alone. The shortest line between two cities on a map is sometimes a slow, awkward journey with a poor change, while a slightly longer route on a fast main line is quicker and far more pleasant. The order of cities in this itinerary was chosen on exactly that basis.

Use your transfer days rather than losing them. Left luggage at the big stations means an arrival morning can still be a sightseeing morning. And pack for rain whatever the month: the UK can serve up a wet day in July as easily as in November. I travel in a pair of waterproof Allbirds Wool Runners, which have kept my feet dry through a lot of British drizzle and still look fine for dinner.

 

Other Options for Touring the UK

If, having read all of the above, you’re feeling a little overwhelmed at the idea of planning the whole trip yourself, there are a couple of alternatives worth considering.

The first is a group tour. This takes you to a range of sights with someone else handling all the logistics, leaving you to simply enjoy the trip. We’ve used and can recommend Rabbie’s, a small-group tour operator with experienced guides. As one example, they run an eight-day tour from London to Edinburgh. The route isn’t quite the same as this one, but you’ll still see plenty.

You can also arrange a private tour, which is a more expensive option but lets you put together something completely tailored to you. Rabbie’s offer a private tour service for this. Another option we’re happy to recommend is a professional driver-guide. This website lists the certified blue badge guides offering tours across the UK, and we’ve always had a good time with the guides we’ve used.

 

Where to Stay in the UK

The UK has accommodation to suit every budget, from cosy bed and breakfasts through to grand hotels and everything in between. For the short city stays in this itinerary, hotels and apartments tend to be the most convenient choice.

• Our go-to for finding the best deals is Booking.com. They usually have the widest choice, including apartments, they price-match if you find a better deal, and the reviews help you make a sensible decision.
• If you prefer an apartment or a more hosted stay, we recommend Plum Guide, who curate their listings and have given us the most consistent quality of the apartment platforms we’ve tried.
• If you can’t find the right place on either, Vrbo is a good next stop, and we’ve rounded up more choices in our guide to the best holiday cottage and apartment rental sites in the UK.

 

When to Visit the UK

The UK is worth visiting at any time of year, but for the best weather and the longest daylight we’d suggest the warmer months, from May to September. Long daylight matters more than you might think on a trip with this much travel, as it keeps a transfer day from eating into your sightseeing.

May and September are our own favourite months. The weather is usually reasonable and the tourist crowds are far gentler than in high summer. The weeks leading up to Christmas can also be a lovely time to visit, with the streets and shops lit up and festive markets in the cities, although the days are short. For a sense of that, see our guide to visiting Edinburgh at Christmas. Whenever you come, pack a light waterproof layer, because British weather doesn’t read the calendar.

 

10-Day UK Itinerary FAQ

 

Can You Travel Around the UK Without a Car?

Yes. The UK has an extensive rail and coach network, and the major cities are linked by frequent, fast services. This entire ten-day itinerary, from London to Glasgow by way of Oxford, Bath, Liverpool, York and Edinburgh, is built to be done without a car.

The one part of the country where a car helps is the Scottish Highlands, where public transport is sparse. For cities and the routes between them, the train is usually quicker and less stressful than driving anyway.

 

Is It Cheaper to Travel the UK by Train or Coach?

Coach travel is almost always cheaper than the train, sometimes by a wide margin. National Express and Megabus run budget fares between all the cities on this route.

The trade-off is time. Coaches can take two to three times as long as the equivalent train on the longer legs. Trains become much more competitive on price if you book Advance fares early and travel with a railcard. For most travellers, a mix of mostly train with the occasional coach leg works best.

 

What Is the Best Railcard for a UK Trip?

It depends on who is travelling. A railcard costs £35 for the year and takes roughly a third off most rail fares, so on a trip with this much train travel it pays for itself quickly.

Couples travelling together want the Two Together Railcard. Travellers aged 16 to 30 are covered by the 16-25 and 26-30 Railcards. Anyone aged 60 or over can buy the Senior Railcard. Families should look at the Family and Friends Railcard, which also takes 60% off children’s fares.

 

Should I Buy a BritRail Pass?

The BritRail Pass can be worth it, but only for overseas visitors. It’s sold exclusively to non-UK residents and must be bought before you arrive in the UK.

For this itinerary, the 8-day consecutive pass covers the whole route. Whether it beats booking individual Advance tickets depends on you: book every leg early and separate tickets may cost less, but the pass removes all the fare admin and lets you change plans freely. If simplicity matters more than the lowest possible fare, it’s a good buy.

 

How Far in Advance Should I Book UK Train Tickets?

As early as you can. Advance tickets, the cheapest fares, are usually released around twelve weeks before the travel date.

The cheapest Advance fares are sold in limited numbers and go first, so booking each leg the moment its date opens up makes a real difference to your total rail spend. If you can’t plan that far ahead, you’ll still save by booking a few days out rather than buying on the day, which is nearly always the most expensive option.

 

Can You Reach the Scottish Highlands by Public Transport?

Partly. Some Highland towns, including Fort William, Oban and Inverness, are reachable by train, and the West Highland Line is one of the most scenic rail journeys in Britain.

The Highlands proper, though, the glens, the lochs and the small villages, are difficult to explore without a car, as bus services are infrequent. If the Highlands are a priority, we’d suggest a separate trip with a hire car or a small-group tour, rather than trying to fold them into a public transport itinerary like this one.

 

How Many Days Do You Need in Each City?

This itinerary allows two days each for London, Bath and Liverpool, and a day each for Oxford, York, Edinburgh and Glasgow. London and Edinburgh could both absorb far more time.

Oxford and York are compact, and a single day suits them well. Bath and Liverpool reward a second day. If your trip is shorter, the easiest cities to trim are Oxford, which works as a day out from London, and Glasgow, which works as a day trip from Edinburgh.

 

Is This UK Itinerary Suitable for Families?

It can be, with some adjustment. The pace as written is fairly brisk, with several travel days, which can be tiring for younger children.

The simplest fix is to slow down and cut a city or two. Focusing on London, Oxford, York and Edinburgh, with two or three days in the larger cities, makes for a calmer family trip. Jess and I don’t have children ourselves, so this reflects what family-travel friends consistently tell us rather than first-hand experience.

 

Which UK City Is Best for Day Trips?

London is the best base for day trips. It has the most frequent rail connections of anywhere in the country, and many well-known places, including Oxford, Bath, Cambridge and Windsor, are within easy reach for the day.

On this itinerary, Edinburgh also makes a good base in Scotland. Glasgow is only 50 minutes away by train, and several other Scottish towns are reachable for a day out.

 

When Is the Best Time to Visit the UK?

May to September brings the best weather and the longest daylight, which matters on a trip with this much travel. May and September are our own favourites, with reasonable weather and thinner crowds than high summer.

The weeks before Christmas are also lovely, with festive lights and markets in the cities, though daylight is short. Whenever you come, pack for the possibility of rain.
