How to book cheap train tickets from Leicester to Cross Gates

Travelling in off-peak train times

Taking advantage of Off-Peak train tickets is another effective way to save on your train journey from Leicester to Cross Gates. These tickets are generally cheaper and can be used during quieter periods, typically outside of morning (06:30-09:30) and evening (16:00-19:00) rush hours on weekdays.

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.
