How to book cheap train tickets from Ipswich to Cambridge

Travelling in off-peak train times

Using the Railcard for 1/3 off

Split Tickets to save an average extra 30%

Splitting tickets involves buying separate, cheaper tickets for different parts of your journey on the same train instead of just one ticket for the entire trip. For instance, if you're travelling from Ipswich to Cambridge, you might find that purchasing a ticket from A to C, then C to B costs less than a direct ticket. This method is perfectly legal and often doesn’t require leaving your seat.
