If you can be flexible, then you are likely to be able to find cheaper tickets

However, you may need to book these in advance

 

If you find the train is fully booked or seats cannot be reserved, then you may need to adjust your search to look for earlier or later services
Alternatively, you may be able to split your journey
Equally, this may also be cheaper

 

Finally, don’t take the first price that appears

 

Quite often cheaper fares can be found using the above techniques of splitting journeys
Remember : If you do split a journey with two or more tickets, the you MUST maintain the minimum connection time for stations; especially in larger stations which you may be unfamiliar with

 

Advance tickets are typically available up to 12 weeks before travel

However, if you are planning your journey before Advance tickets are available then you may want to sign up to receive an email when Advance ticket types become available
