Book in advance

Even better, Trip.com automatically finds and arranges these split tickets for you, so there's no complicated planning required.

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.

At weekends and on bank holidays, Off-Peak pricing typically applies throughout the entire day.
