It's a scenic ride from Durham to Edinburgh, so try and get a seat on the right hand side of the train (facing forwards). Enjoy.
Are you travelling anywhere else by rail after Edinburgh? If you are, I'd say the BritRail pass might fit your needs a bit better. No stress in getting to Kings Cross, get on the first train to Edinburgh. They're hourly for most of the day, with them running half-hourly at certain times of day.
