If you know where to look and how to take advantage of available discounts and travel options, then saving money with Trip.com becomes second nature. Here are some of our top tips to help you save money on your train travel.

Book in advance to save an average of 61%

Booking in advance is one of the most effective ways to get cheap train tickets. Advance Tickets are typically released up to 12 weeks before the travel date and can offer significant savings compared to purchasing tickets closer to the departure date. By planning your trip from Stoke-On-Trent to Manchester ahead of time and booking your tickets early, you can potentially save up to 61% on your travel expenses.

Travelling during off-peak hours

Taking advantage of Off-Peak train tickets is another effective way to save money on your train journey from Stoke-On-Trent to Manchester. These tickets are generally cheaper than peak-time tickets and can be used during less busy periods, typically outside of the morning and evening rush hours. If your schedule allows for flexibility, opting for off-peak times can lead to substantial cost savings. It's important to note that in most cities and large towns, off-peak time usually starts at 09:30 from Monday to Friday, while in other areas, it typically begins at 09:00.

Split Tickets to save an average extra 30%

Splitting your tickets involves buying separate tickets for different parts of your journey instead of one ticket for the entire trip. This method can often be cheaper and is perfectly legal. For instance, if you're travelling from A to B, you might find that purchasing a ticket from A to C, then C to B costs less than a direct ticket.
