How to book cheap train tickets from Halifax to Preston

Split Tickets discount

While it may sound surprising, splitting your route into smaller segments and purchasing separate low-cost tickets can greatly reduce the overall fare, all without changing seats. The best part is that Trip.com does all the splitting and organising for you, removing any need for time-consuming research on your end.

Travel during Off-Peak train times

For a quieter, better-value trip, try to travel during Off-Peak hours rather than the busiest weekday periods. Although exact times can vary between train companies, the general rule is to avoid the 6:30 AM–09:30 AM and 4:00 PM–7:00 PM windows. At weekends and on bank holidays, Off-Peak pricing typically applies throughout the entire day.

Using a Railcard for 1/3 off

A wide selection of Railcards is available, many providing 1/3 off most train tickets — from the 16-25 and 26-30 Railcards to Family & Friends, Two Together, Network and Senior options. With the 16-17 Saver, you can even get 50% off. Purchasing and storing your Railcard in the Trip.com app is quick and simple, ensuring instant access to generous discounts whenever you travel.

Group travel deals

If you are travelling in a group of 3 to 9 people, you can take advantage of group discounts (offered by most train companies) for up to 1/3 off standard fares. This can make travelling from Halifax to Preston more affordable for families, friends, or colleagues planning a trip together.
