How to book cheap train tickets from Leicester to Thirsk

Traveling in off-peak train times

Taking advantage of Off-Peak train tickets is another effective way to save on your train journey from Leicester to Thirsk.

Get 1/3 off with a Railcard

You can choose a Railcard to help you save up to 1/3 on fares from Leicester to Thirsk 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 for greater savings

Splitting tickets is a perfectly legal practice that involves purchasing separate, cheaper tickets for different segments of your journey on the same train instead of a single ticket for the entire trip. For example, if you are travelling from Leicester to Thirsk, you might discover that buying a ticket from A to C, and then another ticket from C to B, is more economical than a direct ticket.

Book in advance to save an average of 61%

Advance Tickets are usually released up to 12 weeks before the travel date and can be significantly cheaper than tickets purchased closer to departure. By planning your trip from Leicester to Thirsk ahead of time and securing your tickets early, you can save up to 61% on the cost of your travel.

Travel in a group to save 1/3

If you are traveling in a group, be sure to check out group travel discounts. Many train companies offer a ⅓ off standard fares for groups of three to nine people, making traveling from Leicester to Thirsk more affordable for families, friends, or colleagues planning a trip together.
