How to book cheap train tickets from Rotherham to Wakefield

Travelling in off-peak train times
Taking advantage of Off-Peak train tickets is another effective way to save on your train journey from Rotherham to Wakefield. These tickets are generally cheaper and can be used during quieter periods, typically outside of morning (06:30-09:30) and evening (16:00-19:00) rush hours on weekdays.

Using the Railcard for 1/3 off
You can choose a Railcard to help you save up to 1/3 on fares from Rotherham to Wakefield for various reasons, such as your age (including the 16-25 Railcard or Senior Railcard) or options geared towards group travel (Family & Friends Railcard and Two Together Railcard). Discover more here.

Split Tickets for greater savings
