Even better, Trip.com automatically finds and arranges these split tickets for you, so there's no complicated planning required.
Book in advance

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.

On weekends and bank holidays, Off-Peak fares apply all day.
