How to book cheap train tickets from Ely to Birmingham
Travelling in off-peak train times

Using the Railcard for 1/3 off

Split Tickets for greater savings
Another option to consider is splitting your tickets to save more on fares. Instead of purchasing a direct ticket from Ely to Birmingham, you can split the route into two legs: A to C and C to B.

Book in advance to save an average of 61%
