How to book cheap train tickets from Stafford to Blackpool

Travelling in off-peak train times

If your schedule allows for flexibility, choosing off-peak times for your trip from Stafford to Blackpool can result in significant cost savings.

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 Stafford to Blackpool, 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.

Book in advance to save an average of 61%

Advance Tickets are typically released up to 12 weeks before the travel date and can offer significant savings compared to tickets purchased closer to departure. By planning your trip from Stafford to Blackpool ahead of time and booking your tickets early, you can potentially save up to 61% on your travel expenses.
