Traveling during off-peak hours
The important thing to note about Off-Peak train tickets is the designated off-peak time.

By planning your journey during these off-peak hours, you can take advantage of cheaper and more comfortable train fares, ensuring a smoother travel experience and avoiding the crowded peak hours.
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.
