The misleading information in train stations lead to the most expensive fare being quoted and consequently sold to passengers with two in three station staff and two in five NRES staff failing to quote the cheapest fare.

So to be sure you’re finding the cheapest fare available for your journey make sure you use the Rail Easy search facility to the right. They, along with thetrainline.com offer tickets on all national UK routes, so wherever you’re going you’ll be able to find Cheap Train Tickets at a time and price to suit you.

To make sure you find Cheap Train Tickets check out these top tips:

Buy Two Singles instead of a Return – quite often two singles can be cheaper than a return ticket, so be sure to compare the cost

Buy in Advance - probably the best piece of advice but often the hardest to stick to – the further in advance you can buy your train ticket the cheaper you will find it. Train operators put a limit on the number of advanced fares they sell, so the earlier you book your train ticket the more choice you will have and the more likely you are to get a good price. Booking windows for train tickets open 12 weeks before the booking date.

Be specific - open returns are likely to cost the most amount of money, so if you’re specific about when you’re travelling you’ll get a better price.

Off-Peak - travelling off peak is always going to be cheaper than travelling at peak times and sometimes it can mean getting a train just 10 minutes later

Buy Cheap Train Tickets to get to the FA Cup Final as extra trains are put on for fans

Rover tickets are Cheap Train Tickets that are often poorly advertised. They provide great value for money and can be easily obtained when you know how!

Cheap Train Ticket – Anglia Plus 7 Day Rover Ticket

This gives you access by train to most of Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire. It includes Thetford, Diss and Lowestoft and the North Norfolk coast as well as Bury St Edmonds, Stowmarket, Ipswich, Cambridge, Ely and Thetford. A really wide area.

If you want to liven things up try Pleasurewood Hills Theme Park at Lowestoft. Dare you ride on ‘Wipeout’, ‘Enigma’, and ‘Thunderstruck’?

The beautiful market towns of Bury St Edmonds, with it’s Greene King brewery, Stowmarket, with it’s 70 acre open air museum of East Anglian life full of rare breeds of livestock and historic buildings are well worth visiting. Also, how about a trip to Thetford to see the Dad’s Army locations from the famous BBC TV series?

Visit beautiful Ely, with it’s famous cathedral, the Oliver Cromwell’s family house and fenland cruises is fascinating and what about Wymondham home of the Mid-Norfolk Railway and Wymondham Abbey?

The north Norfolk coast with beautiful beaches at Yarmouth, Cromer and Sheringham is quite spectacular and you can experience part of it from the carriage pulled by a steam engine from Sheringham on the North Norfolk Railway (cost not included).

The range of fantastic possibilities is enormous.

Buy Cheap Train Tickets with a Rover Anglia Plus

Personally, I always like a bargain. It doesn’t matter if I’m shopping for designer shoes, plants for my garden, holidays or train tickets – I shop around until I find the bargain I’m looking for. Of course, it’s all relative and I have to make choices along the way s

uch as would I rather have the shoes I “really, really, really like” or the shoes that I only “like” that are £40 cheaper.

You’re wondering what shoes has to do with train tickets aren’t you? Well, finding bargain shoes uses the same principles as finding bargain train tickets – if you’re looking for a saving you’ll find a saving, it just depends on how much you’ll deviate from your ‘dream’ choice to find the shoes, sorry train tickets, that you want.

The price of train tickets is inevetibaly (and already has on some train routes) increased, as they do every year. But, it doesn’t mean that Cheap Train Tickets have vanished off the face of the earth (yes, they did and still do exist!)

Generally the people that suffer the most when train companies hike up their fares are commuters – although there are ways these costs can be reduced too – but for the self-employed (and employed) business man or woman travelling to  meetings, for the student travelling home from Uni, for the parents visiting their grown-up kids, for the loved-up couple enjoying a long-distance relationship, for the family looking for a day out, there are lots of ways to get a Cheap Train Ticket.

The best way is to buy in advance. Whilst buying 12 weeks in advance (when the booking windows open) will help and give you more choice, it’s not the only way to buy in advance. In fact you could buy just a day or so before you travel and still make savings, but if you want a real, real, real bargain then plan what you want to do in advance and book your train tickets in advance.

Get a Rail Card – rail cards can give you fantastic savings. There’s one for students and young people (up to age 25) , one for families and one for the grandparents and one for disabled people. It can save you a third and while there are some t&c’s with them it’s worth having – especially if you travel by train throughout the year.

Travel Off-Peak – it’s a bit of an obvious one, but perhaps you aren’t aware of just how much cheaper it is to travel off-peak rather than peak. Well, it can easily be hundreds of pounds (depending on the ticket you’re looking at). So travel after 9am and after 7pm and you could be saving a small fortune.

Look at different times - and even different days as it can again make a big difference – especially on availability. Sometimes it can be cheaper to travel the day before and stay in a hotel than travelling on the day and time you wanted.

Now you’re probably thinking that all of this seems like hard work and a lot of faffing about. Wrong. You can do it all online in a couple of easy mouse clicks. thetrainline.com is, in my opinion, a great website to use. It’s easy, straightforward and a quick and simple process. You can search and buy train tickets for any train journey in the UK and while thetrainline does charge £1 booking fee (regardless of how many tickets you book) it is in my eyes the trade-off that comes with finding a bargain.

You see, I get the train to Bicester shopping village (an outlet shopping centre) to find bargains galore on top brands like Jimmy Choo and Mulberry. And I’d much rather invest in the time and train fare there in the hope that I’ll make huge savings on key items, than go to my normal shopping centre where the discounts just aren’t there to be had. It’s the same with train tickets, invest £1 in booking with thetrainline and you’ll quickly and easily find bargains on Cheap Train Tickets.

You see shoes and train tickets, it’s all the same when it comes to bargain hunting and believe me, it gives you a great sense of satisfaction and sometimes smugness to know that you’ve found the cheapest train ticket that suits your travel needs.
