I was recently offered the chance to go on a last minute trip to one of the largest cities in the U.K. and although I had managed to scrape together some spending money travelling was going to cost a small fortune or so I thought. Just by chance I had that morning been watching a money advice program where the concept of split ticketing was raised. Now this little life hack does take a little bit of time but can save you money and is completely legal and above board. It seems to only apply to train travel though so this is the only drawback.
So how do I do it I hear you cry!
Well it is simply a case of looking into which stations you will be passing through and rather than buying a ticket for the entire journey, splitting your trip into several parts. No need to change trains or disembark. This method can save you well over £100 on very long journeys but is almost always cheaper than the easy option of a single destination ticket. My other advice would be to look into any cashback offers or voucher codes too as these can sometimes save you a fair bit.
