With the average price of tickets expected to rise by 2.7 % from today, here are some tips to help you keep your costs to a minimum

Off-peak

If you can travel during off peak hours these tickets will often be cheaper and trains will be less busy.

Book in advance

Take advantage of advanced tickets as they are more cost effective than booking last minute.

Ticket type

Consider whether first class or open tickets are really necessary and remember two single tickets can often be cheaper than an open return. When you book online through Inntel the cheapest ticket options will be highlighted.

Ticket restrictions

Check ticket restrictions to ensure your tickets will be valid for the time of travel required ie; peak/ off peak/ specific train operating company. You don’t want the traveller to buy another ticket.
