How to book cheap train tickets from Great Shelford to Leicester

Traveling in off-peak train times

Off-Peak train tickets are generally cheaper than peak-time tickets, allowing travel outside morning (6:30 AM–9:30 AM) and evening (4:00 PM–7:00 PM) rush hours on weekdays. If your schedule allows for flexibility, choosing off-peak times for your trip from Great Shelford to Leicester can result in significant cost savings.

Get 1/3 off with a Railcard

With a Railcard, you can save up to 1/3 on most rail fares. There are different types of Railcards available, such as the 16–25 Railcard, the Family & Friends Railcard, and the Senior Railcard, each catering to specific groups of travelers. You can discover more about Railcards here.

Split tickets to save an average extra 30%

Another option to consider is splitting your tickets, which can save you around an extra 30% on fares. Instead of purchasing a direct ticket from Great Shelford to Leicester, you can split the route into two legs: A to C and C to B. This often turns out to be more affordable than buying a direct ticket, and you won't even need to leave the train… or often your seat!
