Split Bitterne to London Train Tickets

 

Splitting your Bitterne to London train tickets is when, instead of just one more expensive through ticket to London from Bitterne, you purchase separate tickets for two or more sectors of the route you wish to travel without affecting your travel options in any way.

 

For example, if you wanted to travel from Bitterne to London, you would expect to buy a ticket direct from Bitterne to London. However, you may find it a lot cheaper to buy a ticket from Bitterne to bitterne4, and another from Cromford to Davenport and still another from Downham Market to London for a much cheaper combined train ticket price. This is especially true when not all sectors of your journey to London from Bitterne are during peak time.

 

So, by buying several tickets that in combination make up the whole of your Bitterne to London rail route, you could massively reduce your travel cost.

 

Use the splittickets.com journey planner above to automatically do the hard work for you by searching the entire National Rail fares database for every possible permutation of travel to identify the best of any available split ticketing options for your train journey to London, and at the times that you select.
