How to book cheap train tickets from Malling to Brighton

Travelling in off-peak train times

We recommend buying train tickets from Malling to Brighton during off-peak hours.

Using the Railcard for 1/3 off

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 Malling to Brighton, 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.
