How to book cheap train tickets from Margate to Stansted

Travelling in off-peak train times

Off-Peak train tickets are generally cheaper than peak-time tickets, allowing travel outside morning (06:30-09:30) and evening (16:00-19:00) rush hours on weekdays. If your schedule allows for flexibility, choosing off-peak times for your trip from Margate to Stansted can result in significant cost savings.

Using the Railcard for 1/3 off

Split Tickets for greater savings

For instance, if you're travelling from Margate to Stansted, 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%
