How to book cheap train tickets from Runcorn to Birmingham

Travelling in off-peak train times

Taking advantage of Off-Peak train tickets is another effective way to save on your train journey from Runcorn to Birmingham. 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 Runcorn to Birmingham 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
