Travel notes

Good to know about St Andrews to Edinburgh Waverley.

Timing

The 50-mile run typically takes 1h 15–1h 45. Your driver watches live traffic and, inbound, times the pickup to your actual train.

Licensed, insured, vetted

Every P5 chauffeur is fully licensed private hire, insured and DBS-checked.

Worth knowing

Flights into Edinburgh beat Dundee’s thin schedule for most arrivals — the drive over the Tay is part of the welcome anyway.

Move-in weekends

Freshers’ arrival dates funnel every family into the same few days. Halls set one-way systems and timed unloading bays — we book the slot with you and bring an estate or MPV so a year’s kit moves in one run.

St Andrews to Edinburgh Waverley, planned properly

This route joins a venue and a transport hub, and both ends have their own rules. The three medieval streets take cars gently; set-down at your college or the quad works any day except graduation week, when we brief the plan ahead. At Edinburgh Waverley, your driver meets you on the concourse with the train tracked — so the 50-mile run between them is the easy part.

Reckon on 1h 15–1h 45 for the 50 miles, with 15 minutes of complimentary waiting and every toll inside the fare. Vehicles run from a saloon to a 8-seat van, so the same booking works for a couple or a whole party.
