Split Tickets to save an average extra 30%
Splitting your tickets involves purchasing separate tickets for different segments of your journey instead of a single ticket for the entire trip. This method is legal and can often result in cheaper fares. For example, if you are travelling from A to B, you might discover that buying a ticket from A to C, and then another ticket from C to B, is more economical than purchasing a direct ticket.

If your schedule allows flexibility, choosing off-peak times for your trip from Edinburgh to Halifax can result in significant cost savings. In most cities and large towns, off-peak time usually starts at 09:30 from Monday to Friday. In other areas, off-peak time typically begins at 09:00.
