How do you use split tickets?
If you buy the same journey split tickets, travelling using split tickets travel exactly the same way they would have on a regular, “straight-through” train ticket. The only difference is that by splitting their tickets they may have paid a lot less for the same journey. You still travel at the same times.
If you buy the flexible journey split tickets, you might have to check and follow the stop that we show you when you buy the tickets if needed.
Whatever split journey, those cheaper tickets would cover the whole journey, instead of one more expensive ticket. The only condition when using split tickets is that the train you take must stop at all the places you have bought tickets for and not just pass through them.
How does ticket splitting save you money?
The savings from splitting your journey into separate tickets come from taking advantage of the complexities of the UK rail fare system. Ticket prices in the UK are determined by train operator, journey duration and fare types, such as Peak and Off-Peak. So, the biggest discounts for split tickets tend to occur at the times of day Peak times end and Off-Peak windows open, such as the morning and evening rush hours.
What’s more, you may even find it much cheaper if you accept flexible journey. Flexible split ticketing, similar to the fixed split ticketing, offers a further choice of travel times and routes. For example, buy two tickets from London Euston to Stoke on Trent and from Stoke on Trent to Manchester Piccadilly, with 10 minutes wait at Stoke on Trent —— flexible split journey saves even more.

FAQs About Split Ticketing

Are split tickets legal?
A:
Yes, split ticketing is perfectly legal and is allowed by the National Conditions of Carriage, under which all train operating companies on the national rail network operate.
Q:
Will split-ticketing work on all journeys?
A:
To get your route at the price listed, the tickets you buy (and the journey you take) need to exactly match the tickets shown. This includes ticket type (e.g. Peak or Off-peak), destination and journey time. Otherwise it may cost more.
Q:
Does split-ticketing work with railcards?
A:
Yes. You're just buying normal tickets and, provided your railcard is valid on them, there's no problem. On odd occasions splitting without using a railcard works out even cheaper.

A:
Split tickets that include Advance tickets: Please make a new booking before the departure time of your original ticket, then let us know the new booking number by going to "My Bookings" > "Change", or going to the account section and selecting "Contact Us". One of our customer support agents will then help you change your original Advance ticket.
Q:
Can I get refund for my split ticket?
A:
Whether you can cancel split tickets depends on the types of ticket you have:
(1) If your booking includes a combination of Advance and Flexible tickets, you can cancel the Flexible ones. (2) If all of your tickets are Flexible, you can choose to only cancel part of your itinerary or cancel the whole trip. (3) If all of your tickets are Advanced, your booking is non-refundable.
