Using the Railcard for 1/3 off

Split Tickets to save an average extra 30%

For instance, if you're travelling from Porthmadog to Birmingham, you might find that purchasing a ticket from A to C, then C to B costs less than a direct ticket. This method is perfectly legal and often doesn’t require leaving your seat.
