How to book cheap train tickets from Manchester to Royston

Travelling in off-peak train times

We recommend buying train tickets from Manchester to Royston during off-peak hours. These times are usually before 06:30, between 09:30 and 16:00, and after 19:00 on weekdays, as well as all day on weekends and bank holidays.

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 Manchester to Royston, 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.
