How to book cheap train tickets from Liverpool to Ilkeston

Traveling in off-peak train times

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

Get 1/3 off with a Railcard

You can choose a Railcard to help you save up to 1/3 on fares from Liverpool to Ilkeston 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 to save an average extra 30%

Splitting tickets involves buying separate, cheaper tickets for different parts of your journey on the same train instead of just one ticket for the entire trip. For instance, if you're traveling from Liverpool to Ilkeston, you might find that purchasing a ticket from A to C, then C to B costs less than a direct ticket. This method is perfectly legal and often doesn't require leaving your seat.

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 Liverpool to Ilkeston 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 of three to nine people, take advantage of group travel discounts, offered by most train companies, for a discount of up to 1/3 on standard fares. This can make traveling from Liverpool to Ilkeston more affordable for families, friends, or colleagues planning a trip together.
