What are split tickets?
Instead of buying just one ticket for the whole of your journey it can sometimes be cheaper to buy one ticket to a station on your journey and another ticket from that station to your destination.

You don't normally have to change trains as long as the train calls at the stations for which you have tickets.

For example, the train from Sheffield to Newcastle calls at York, so if you buy a Sheffield to York ticket and a York to Newcastle ticket you can save Ł18 with a day return. The train stops at York so you don't need to change trains.

How it works

The stations listed are a cross-section from around the country.
Select either your starting station, destination station, a station close to either or a station on your journey. For each station there are ideas to various destinations on where to split your tickets as well as actual savings to be made.

If your stations are not listed then look for stations in the same location, for example:

If you are travelling from Bristol to Leeds, for an anytime return it states you should split tickets at Cheltenham and Derby; the same would also apply for stations near to Bristol and for stations near to Leeds - so if you were travelling from Weston super Mare (south of Bristol) to Harrogate (north of Leeds) you would also look to split your tickets at Cheltenham and Derby as your journey will take you through both Bristol and Leeds.

You should try different permutations to obtain the best prices. If you have to change trains on your journey look at splitting your tickets there. Always make sure your tickets are valid for the train(s) you wish to catch.
