How to book cheap train tickets from Cambridge to Hackney
Travelling in off-peak train times

Split Tickets for greater savings
Splitting tickets involves buying separate, cheaper tickets for different parts of your journey on the same train instead of just one ticket for the entire trip.

This method is perfectly legal and often doesn’t require leaving your seat.
