How to book cheap train tickets from Ellesmere Port to Preston

Traveling in off-peak train times

Taking advantage of Off-Peak train tickets is another effective way to save on your train journey from Ellesmere Port to Preston.

Split tickets to save an average extra 30%

Instead of purchasing a direct ticket from Ellesmere Port to Preston, 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%
