How to book cheap train tickets from Derby to Ely
Split Tickets discount
While it may sound surprising, splitting your route into smaller segments and purchasing separate low-cost tickets can greatly reduce the overall fare, all without changing seats. The best part is that Trip.com does all the splitting and organising for you, removing any need for time-consuming research on your end.
Book in advance
Booking Advance tickets at least 1 week before departure can reduce your fare by up to 61% on routes from Derby to Ely. Advance fares are usually released 12 weeks prior to travel and exclude Anytime fares, with savings depending on route availability.
Travel during Off-Peak train times
We'd strongly suggest avoiding rush hour crowds by travelling on Off-Peak services, often leading to a cheaper and more peaceful journey. Exact timings vary between providers, but in general, skip travelling between 06:30 AM–09:30 AM and 4:00 PM–7:00 PM on weekdays. Off-Peak rates are available all day on weekends and bank holidays.
