Travelling in off-peak train times

Travelling in off-peak train times

Off-Peak train tickets are generally cheaper than peak-time tickets, allowing travel outside morning (06:30-09:30) and evening (16:00-19:00) rush hours on weekdays.

Split Tickets to save an average extra 30%

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 Leeds to Manchester Airport, 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.
