Split Carlisle Train Tickets Save You Money

Split train tickets currently save rail comuters an average of £21.60 per journey

Splitticketing is when, instead of buying a one train ticket for the same journey, you ‘split’ your Carlisle train journey into multiple tickets.

It may seem unusual, but if you buy multiple tickets for your trip you can save a lot of money compared to having just a single ticket, especially on longer rail journeys.

Split Ticketing can seem complicated so, using traveling from London Liverpool Street to Norwich as an example basic but accurate information on how train travel with split train tickets works is:

  • Instead of buying one ticket from London Liverpool Street to Norwich, you buy three rail tickets – one from London Victoria to Colchester Town, another from Colchester Town to Ipswich and another one from Ipswich to Norwich.
  • You will not have to change trains between stations, the train simply only needs to stop at Colchester and Ipswich stations along the way.
  • You will still travel on the same train, at the same time and in the same seat but just pay less for your journey.

If you know at which stations you Carlisle train will stop between your departure and arrival station you could do the split ticketing exercise yourself. It is however a lot easier and safer, for you to use a specialist split train ticket booking engine like this service that is saving commuters an average of £21.60 per journey.

The money saving split train ticketing example above applies to all train journeys, including from Carlisle to Liverpool Street.
