Split Tickets to save an average extra 30%

Travelling during off-peak hours
Taking advantage of Off-Peak train tickets is another effective way to save money on your train journey from Nottingham to Manchester. These tickets are generally cheaper than peak-time tickets and can be used during less busy periods, typically outside of the morning and evening rush hours. If your schedule allows for flexibility, opting for off-peak times can lead to substantial cost savings. It's important to note that in most cities and large towns, off-peak time usually starts at 09:30 from Monday to Friday, while in other areas, it typically begins at 09:00.
Group travels to save 1/3
If you are travelling in a group of three to nine people, you can take advantage of group travel discounts. Many train companies offer group save options that provide a discount of up to 1/3 on standard fares. This can make travelling from Nottingham to Manchester more affordable for families, friends, or colleagues planning a trip together.
