British train ticket purchase strategy
British train fares are more expensive than Schengen countries, especially long-distance trains. You can book in advance and buy delicious food.
Generally, discount tickets are provided in official website two or three months in advance, sometimes even at half price.
There are many ways to buy train tickets in Britain. The most commonly used are:
1. Official website of national railway
Advantage is official website, no handling fee. The disadvantage is that you have to climb over the wall to buy tickets, and the network speed is slow.
2. Train line application
Recommend personal APP, although there are some fees, but the operation is simple and efficient. The handling fee is also completely acceptable, and you can show your electronic ticket by mobile phone, which saves the step of picking up the ticket.
Very convenient. If you want to print tickets at the local railway station, you can use your reserved ticket number and payment credit card to pick up tickets at more than 0/000 railway stations in London/Kloc.
Now I bought a round-trip ticket from London to Edinburgh in September, which is nearly 50% off. 1 18 two people. It is said that the price chosen in July is almost 1 12 pounds per person. Is it much worse?
Secondly, tourists can get a railway card shared by two people.
Fill in the application online in advance, and then take photos to the main railway station in London. You can save a lot of money if you travel more by train.
I am too lazy to apply.
It is also very important that there are three main railway stations in London, some of which can reach the same place. Therefore, it is recommended to search and compare when booking tickets, and the ticket price will be much worse.
For example, I can book London-Cambridge, King's Cross Station and Liverpool Station to go to Cambridge. The fastest departure time for the King is 50 minutes, and the round-trip fare for a single person is 36 pounds (departure at 8: 00 a.m. and return on 16 in the afternoon).
However, if you leave from Liverpool station, the round-trip fare at the same time is 18 per person, which is basically equal to 50% off. The arrival time is slightly longer than that of the king, about 1 hour 5 minutes. My hotel is close to Liverpool Station, and I think I deserve it.
Therefore, when booking a ticket, it may be a surprise to search and compare according to your place of residence.
Of course, some short-distance trains, such as London to Windsor, do not need to be purchased in advance.
Buy at the same price on the spot.
