Edinburgh Travel Forum

Is there public transportation from the pier at s. Queensferry to the city center of Edinburgh? What are the fares and how long does the trip take?

I am qgoing to quote myself from my reply to the question beneath yours on the Edinburgh forum:

'South Queensferry (also called Queensferry) is quite some way from Edinburgh.

The journeyplanner on http://www.travelinescotland.com/welcome.do will give you travel options for your expected times/day (43 and X43 bus). Journey time by bus is around 40 minutes, timetables from the site.

You can also go by train, if you walk/take a taxi to Dalmeny station (about 10 minutes from Queensferry town centre). www.nationalrail.co.uk will give you times, details and fares. Trains take from 20 minutes, depending on train time, one-way fare is from 3.60GBP.

I would suggest that taking a taxi then the train is probably the best option.....but do allow plenty of time for your return to the ship (if that is what you are doing). Ships don't wait. '

Perhaps you could contact the member who asked the same question and share the cost of a taxi direct from the pier to Dalmeny station (or even Edinburgh)?
