Split Tickets to save an average extra 30%

Splitting tickets involves buying separate, cheaper tickets for different parts of your journey on the same train instead of just one ticket for the entire trip.

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

Book in advance to save an average of 61%
