How to book cheap train tickets from Whitstable to Folkestone West

Travelling in off-peak train times

We recommend buying train tickets from Whitstable to Folkestone West during off-peak hours.

Using the Railcard for 1/3 off

Split Tickets to save an average extra 30%

For example, if you are travelling from Whitstable to Folkestone West, 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%

By planning your trip from Whitstable to Folkestone West 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

If you are travelling in a group of three to nine people, take advantage of group travel discounts, offered by most train companies, for a discount of up to 1/3 on standard fares.
