Cheaper train travel

‘Letting the train take the strain’ is easier when you are not paying through the nose for your ticket! Here are some of our suggestions for cutting costs on the rails:

Consider purchasing a railcard - on more expensive trips, the railcard can pay for itself within one journey.

Look into ‘splitting your ticket’ which can work out much cheaper for longer journeys - use the search tool on https://www.raileasy.co.uk or read Martin Lewis’s guide here, which also have lots of other suggestions for cheaper train travel.

TrainPal is a site & app often recommended to us by guests and the Money Course team for finding cheap train travel - it offers in-app/site discounts, including on railcards from time to time, and is another source of split-ticket and other savings.
