Thinking about possible future long-range blue-sky planning

How difficult and/or expensive is it to get from Glasgow to Edinburgh (and vice versa) using some kind of public transport? From the maps, they seem to be fairly close (160km or so), but I know that doesn't have to mean much when infrastructure and geography enters the picture.

I've not done it in a while, but it's certainly possible to get between the two by rail; as I recall, it took around an hour. The National Rail Enquiries site is clunky and slow, but will give you times and ideas on price. The latter will vary greatly according to when you buy the ticket (a few days in advance is usually the cheapest).
