How to get from Leeds to Edingburgh

[mattyj1085]

Lookin at going for a weekend away back end of july with a load of mates, but don't really fancy the 4 hour drive up, does anyone know if there are any cheap train tickets or other ways to get up there?

I've had a look on the usual thetrainline but best I can find is £80+ for a off peak open return do the cheap singles not go on sale this far in advance?

national express coming in at just over £50 which is better but that means spending 7 hours on a coach don't think I could cope with that!
