As rail fares increase, we find the ways passengers can keep journeys as cheap as possible.
A jump in ticket prices may feel particularly unwelcome, after costs for everything have risen at near-record rates.
While some people will try to cram in buying their season tickets just before the price rise, here are five tips for getting the cheapest deals at any time of the year.Advance train tickets are usually released up to 12 weeks before your departure date, although some go on sale as far as 24 weeks in advance.
Some ticket purchasing apps can send alerts to your phone as soon as tickets for a specified journey go on sale.Split ticketing means you can take the same number of trains you normally would for your journey, but can save money by splitting your journey into multiple tickets between the stations the service stops at on the way.
Also, checking to see whether it is cheaper to buy two single tickets rather than a return might save you money.Rail cards can offer discounts when booking, though they cost money to purchase in the first place, so benefit those who travel often. The group must be travelling together, and individual rail cards cannot be used when booking a group ticket.
