How to book cheap train tickets from Hackney to Luton
Season tickets for frequent travellers
If you travel between Hackney and Luton on a weekly, monthly, or annual basis, we'd highly recommend a season ticket, which provides unlimited travel between the 2 stations (during specific times) for a set price. Not only will you receive significant savings, but you'll also remove the stress of purchasing individual tickets.
Travel during Off-Peak train times
To enjoy a calmer and often cheaper journey, we recommend choosing Off-Peak services and steering clear of the busy rush-hour periods. While timings differ slightly by operator, it's usually best to avoid travelling between 06:30 AM–09:30 AM and 4:00 PM–7:00 PM on weekdays. On weekends and bank holidays, Off-Peak fares apply all day.
Using a Railcard for 1/3 off
Save money on your journeys by choosing from a variety of Railcards, most of which give you 1/3 off standard fares. Options include the 16-25, 26-30, Family & Friends, Two Together, Network and Senior Railcards, plus the 16-17 Saver which offers 50% off. You can buy and store them digitally in your Trip.com app, so big savings are always just a tap away.
Book in advance
Booking Advance tickets at least 1 week before departure can reduce your fare by up to 61% on routes from Hackney to Luton. Advance fares are usually released 12 weeks prior to travel and exclude Anytime fares, with savings depending on route availability.
