How to book cheap train tickets from Manchester to Lichfield
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 Manchester to Lichfield can result in significant cost savings.
Get 1/3 off with a Railcard
You can choose a Railcard to help you save up to 1/3 on fares from Manchester to Lichfield for various reasons, such as your age (including the 16–25 Railcard or Senior Railcard) or options geared towards group travel (Family & Friends Railcard and Two Together Railcard). Discover more 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 Manchester to Lichfield, 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!
Book in advance to save an average of 61%
