Book in advance to save an average of 61%

Booking in advance is one of the most effective ways to get cheap train tickets. Advance Tickets are typically released up to 12 weeks before the travel date and can offer significant savings compared to purchasing tickets closer to the departure date. By planning your trip from Reading to Manchester ahead of time and booking your tickets early, you can potentially save up to 61% on your travel expenses.

Split Tickets to save an average extra 30%

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.
