Here are some of our top tips to help you save money on your train travel.

Network Railcard for South East England

Splitting your tickets involves buying separate tickets for different parts of your journey instead of one ticket for the entire trip. This method can often be cheaper and is perfectly legal. For instance, if you're traveling from A to B, you might find that purchasing a ticket from A to C, then C to B costs less than a direct ticket.

Traveling during off-peak hours

These tickets are generally cheaper than peak-time tickets and can be used during less busy periods, typically outside of the morning and evening rush hours. If your schedule allows for flexibility, opting for off-peak hours can lead to substantial cost savings. It's important to note that in most cities and large towns, off-peak hours usually start at 09:30 from Monday to Friday, while in other areas, they typically begin at 09:00.
