Book cheap train tickets from Glasgow to Manchester

Let's save unnecessary costs when traveling from Glasgow to Manchester by taking trains. The best way to find cheap train tickets is through Trip.com. We offer various discounted tips that can guide you towards a more affordable journey, such as using Railcards, Season Tickets, or Split Tickets. Explore the options below for more choices.

Traveling during off-peak hours

Off-Peak train tickets are generally cheaper than peak-time tickets and can be used on services that are less busy, typically outside the morning and evening rush hours. If your schedule allows flexibility, choosing off-peak hours for your trip from Glasgow to Manchester can result in significant cost savings. In most cities and large towns, off-peak hours usually start at 09:30 from Monday to Friday. In other areas, they typically begin at 09:00.

Split Tickets to save an average extra 30%

Splitting your tickets involves purchasing separate tickets for different segments of your journey instead of a single ticket for the entire trip. This method is legal and can often result in cheaper fares. For example, if you are travelling from A to B, you might discover that buying a ticket from A to C, and then another ticket from C to B, is more economical than purchasing a direct ticket.

Travel in a group to save 1/3

If you are traveling in a group of three to nine people, you can take advantage of group travel discounts. Many train companies offer GroupSave options that provide a discount of up to 1/3 on off-peak fares. This can make traveling from Glasgow to Manchester more affordable for families, friends, or colleagues planning a trip together.
