How to book cheap train tickets from Cambridge to York

Travelling in off-peak train times

Using the Railcard for 1/3 off

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.
