If you know where to look and how to take advantage of available discounts and travel options, then saving money with Trip.com becomes second nature. Here are some of our top tips to help you save money on your train travel.
Get 1/3 off with a Railcard
Various Railcards are available for different groups and can save you up to 1/3 on fares from Durham to Cardiff. You can choose the 16–25 Railcard or Senior Railcard based on your age. Additionally, the Family & Friends Railcard or Two Together Railcard are good options for group travel.
Split Tickets to save an average extra 30%
Splitting your tickets involves purchasing separate tickets for different segments of your journey instead of a single ticket for the entire trip. This method is legal and can often result in cheaper fares. For example, if you are travelling from A to B, you might discover that buying a ticket from A to C, and then another ticket from C to B, is more economical than purchasing a direct ticket.
Travel in a group to save 1/3
If you are traveling in a group of three to nine people, you can take advantage of group travel discounts. Many train companies offer GroupSave options that provide a discount of up to 1/3 on off-peak fares. This can make traveling from Durham to Cardiff more affordable for families, friends, or colleagues planning a trip together.
