Train
Folk coming from other parts of GB can use express train services, stopping at Edinburgh Haymarket (west end) and Edinburgh Waverley (centre). Trains in GB are relatively expensive (and slower) compared with other EU countries, so unless you have a phobia of flying, or have a hard to resist fare from Tel Aviv to Manchester, I wouldn't choose to travel long distances by train here.
