What is Split Ticket?

Split ticketing is a method to reduce the cost of train travel by dividing your trip into several tickets. Many people mistakenly believe that split ticketing involves switching trains, but this isn't true. You take the same trip; you just buy a mix of tickets that ends up costing less.

Split Ticketing identifies various ticket combinations to help you save money on numerous trips across the UK. All you need to do is present different tickets during your journey.

Do I need to change trains if I buy split tickets?

Not always. If your journey had no changes originally, there’d still be no changes. However, if your journey included a change, then this will still apply. The only condition when using split tickets is that the train you take must stop at all the places you’ve bought tickets for and not just pass through them.

Is it a legitimate way to purchase your tickets?

Yes. Split ticketing is legal and is allowed by the National Conditions of Travel under which all train companies on the national rail network operate. Just remember that you must take a train that calls at the station(s) you bought your train ticket(s) for.

Can I use my National Railcard when buying split tickets?

Yes. You can buy your split train tickets in conjunction with any National Railcard that can be used for a specific journey.

How do I book a Split Ticket?

Search your route as normal and you can select ‘Split Ticket’ from the Ticket Type section

However, if you do not need to take a Train at a specific time, we would recommend Sorting by 'Price (Low to High) There is no need to reduce the search down to Split Ticket only, as the cheapest journey will appear at the top of your search.
