Split Your Shortlands Train Ticket

 

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

 

For example, if you wanted to travel from Shortlands to Southbourne, you would expect to buy a ticket direct from Shortlands to Southbourne. However, you may find it a lot cheaper to buy a ticket from Shortlands to Strood (Kent), and another from Strood (Kent) to Teesside Airport and still another from Teesside Airport to Southbourne for a much cheaper combined train ticket price. This is especially true when not all sectors of your Shortlands journey are during peak time.

 

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