How to book cheap train tickets from Wakefield to Pontefract Tanshelf
Travelling in off-peak train times
Taking advantage of Off-Peak train tickets is another effective way to save on your train journey from Wakefield to Pontefract Tanshelf.

Using the Railcard for 1/3 off
You can choose a Railcard to help you save up to 1/3 on fares from Wakefield to Pontefract Tanshelf for various reasons, such as your age (including the 16-25 Railcard or Senior Railcard) or options geared towards group travel (Family & Friends Railcard and Two Together Railcard).

Split Tickets to save an average extra 30%
Splitting tickets is a perfectly legal practice that involves purchasing separate, cheaper tickets for different segments of your journey on the same train instead of a single ticket for the entire trip. For example, if you are travelling from Wakefield to Pontefract Tanshelf, you might discover that buying a ticket from A to C, and then another ticket from C to B, is more economical than a direct ticket.
Book in advance to save an average of 61%
