What is Split Tickets?
Split ticketing involves purchasing multiple tickets for a single journey, dividing it into sections with a separate ticket for each part.
Traveling from Station A to Station C can be cheaper by buying a ticket from A to B and another from B to C. This principle also applies to journeys with more than two stations.
For example, a ticket from Manchester to London typically costs £68.60. With split tickets, you can reduce this to £46.60, saving £22.00.
Generally, you won't have to get off the train, unless your journey includes a change of trains. But remember, the train must stop at the station where your tickets change. Please note the transfer station and time to avoid missing the train.

👀 Important Information of Using Split Tickets
- Your train needs to make a stop at the station where you are changing your tickets in order to let passengers off and pick up new ones.
- You must have the right tickets for your entire journey and also carry any Railcards that were used.
- It is important to ensure that you still travel at the scheduled time and on the appropriate train according to the type of ticket you have purchased.

How do Split Tickets save you money
By splitting your journey into separate tickets, you can save money by taking advantage of how train fares work in the UK. The price of tickets in the UK depends on the train company, how long the journey is, and whether it's during peak or Off-Peak times.
Split ticketing at Off-Peak windows open
The biggest savings for split tickets typically occur when peak times end and Off-Peak periods begin, such as after the morning and evening rush hours.
Flexible split ticketing
Flexible split ticketing can offer even cheaper options if you're open to changing trains during your journey.
