How to book cheap train tickets from Swanley to Chester

Travelling in off-peak train times

If your schedule allows for flexibility, choosing off-peak times for your trip from Swanley to Chester can result in significant cost savings.

Using the Railcard for 1/3 off

Split Tickets for greater savings

This is often cheaper than purchasing a direct ticket, and you usually won’t need to change trains or seats.

Book in advance to save an average of 61%

Advance Tickets are usually released up to 12 weeks before the travel date and can be significantly cheaper than tickets purchased closer to departure. By planning your trip from Swanley to Chester ahead of time and securing your tickets early, you can save up to 61% on the cost of your travel.

Group travels to save 1/3
