How to book cheap train tickets from Derby to Dorchester

Travelling in off-peak train times

Using the Railcard for 1/3 off

There are various types of Railcards catering to different types of travellers, such as the 16–25 Railcard, the Family & Friends Railcard, and the Senior Railcard.

Split Tickets for greater savings

Splitting tickets is a perfectly legal practice that involves purchasing separate, cheaper tickets for different segments of your journey on the same train instead of a single ticket for the entire trip. For example, if you are travelling from Derby to Dorchester, you might discover that buying a ticket from A to C, and then another ticket from C to B, is more economical than a direct ticket.
