How to book cheap train tickets from Blackpool to Preston (Lancs)

Travelling in off-peak train times

Taking advantage of Off-Peak train tickets is another effective way to save on your train journey from Blackpool to Preston (Lancs).

Using the Railcard for 1/3 off

You can choose a Railcard to help you save up to 1/3 on fares from Blackpool to Preston (Lancs) for various reasons, such as your age (including the 16-25 Railcard or Senior Railcard) or options geared towards group travel (Family & Friends Railcard and Two Together Railcard). Discover more here.

Split Tickets to save an average extra 30%

Splitting tickets is a perfectly legal practice that involves purchasing separate, cheaper tickets for different segments of your journey on the same train instead of a single ticket for the entire trip. For example, if you are travelling from Blackpool to Preston (Lancs), you might discover that buying a ticket from A to C, and then another ticket from C to B, is more economical than a direct ticket.

Group travels to save 1/3
