Rail fares are ever-increasing upwards and will continue to do so.
For today's rail traveller it is a huge strain on the purse strings, but help is at hand, there are easy ways to
save money on your rail tickets, in some cases, lots of money and we are here to help with our easy guides.
ADVANCE TICKETS
We show you how to look for and how to purchase those dirt-cheap advance tickets to get the cheapest rail
fares including real, actual examples from across the rail network - we also show you what you should be aware of
and what not to buy!
SPLIT YOUR TICKETS
Many seasoned rail travellers split their rail tickets for their journey and save themselves a lot of money.
It's perfectly legal to buy two or more tickets between intermediate stations on your journey but how do you do it
and where do you start? We show you numerous actual examples of real split tickets and the amount you save -
take a look and pick up some money-saving ideas the next time you buy a rail ticket.
These are real examples to show you that you can still buy cheap advance tickets even the day before you travel.
