How to book cheap train tickets from Ipswich to Kettering
Travelling in off-peak train times

If your schedule allows for flexibility, choosing off-peak times for your trip from Ipswich to Kettering can result in significant cost savings.
Using the Railcard for 1/3 off

This is often cheaper than purchasing a direct ticket, and you usually won’t need to change trains or seats.
Book in advance to save an average of 61%
