This method is perfectly legal and often doesn’t require leaving your seat.

Book in advance to save an average of 61%

By planning your trip from Leicester to Hackney ahead of time and booking your tickets early, you can potentially save up to 61% on your travel expenses.

Group travels to save 1/3
