Split Your Chester Train Ticket

 

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

 

For example, if you wanted to travel from Chester to Colchester, you would expect to buy a ticket direct from Chester to Colchester. However, you may find it a lot cheaper to buy a ticket from Chester to Danby, and another from Danby to Dore & Totley and still another from Dore & Totley to Colchester for a much cheaper combined train ticket price. This is especially true when not all sectors of your Chester journey are during peak time.

 

So, by buying several tickets that in combination make up the whole of your Chester 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 Chester train route, and at the times that you select.
