Rail travel can be expensive but these tips will help you save money
Christmas is one of the busiest times of the year for train travel. Thousands of people up and down the country will be travelling to see their families, while others might just be looking for a nice pre-Christmas getaway. A new study revealed this week that UK train operators are in the most expensive in Europe.
Generally, any time post 09:30 in large towns and cities, and 09:00 for other locations is considered off-peak, while weekends and bank holidays are always off-peak. Currently, a single journey, booked just one day prior to travel, from London to Manchester comes in at almost £185 when leaving around 8:30 am. The exact same journey leaving at around 10:30 am, however, costs just £50, an unbelievable £135 saving.
