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

Split Tickets to save an average extra 30%

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.

Get 1/3 off with a Railcard

There are various types of Railcards available to cater to different groups of travelers, such as the 16–25 Railcard, the Family & Friends Railcard, and the Senior Railcard.
