How to book cheap train tickets from Skipton to Gretna Green

Travelling in off-peak train times

We recommend buying train tickets from Skipton to Gretna Green during off-peak hours.

Using the Railcard for 1/3 off

Split Tickets to save an average extra 30%

Another option to consider is splitting your tickets, which can save you around extra 30% on fares. Instead of purchasing a direct ticket from Skipton to Gretna Green, you can split the route into two legs: A to C and C to B. This often turns out to be more affordable than buying a direct ticket, and you won’t even need to leave the train… or often your seat!.

Book in advance to save an average of 61%
