Split Tickets to save an average extra 30%
Splitting your tickets involves buying separate tickets for different parts of your journey instead of one ticket for the entire trip. This method can often be cheaper and is perfectly legal. For instance, if you're travelling from A to B, you might find that purchasing a ticket from A to C, then C to B costs less than a direct ticket.
Travelling during off-peak hours
Off-Peak train tickets are generally cheaper than peak-time tickets and can be used on services that are less busy, typically outside the morning and evening rush hours. If your schedule allows flexibility, choosing off-peak times for your trip from Shenfield to Chelmsford can result in significant cost savings. In most cities and large towns, off-peak time usually starts at 09:30 from Monday to Friday. In other areas, off-peak time typically begins at 09:00.
