How to book cheap train tickets from London Kings Cross to Manchester

Season Tickets for frequent travel

For frequent travelers between London Kings Cross and Manchester, consider a Season Ticket, providing unlimited travel between specified stations for different durations, such as weekly, monthly, annual, or flexi. Alongside substantial savings, enjoy the convenience of not having to buy a ticket for each journey.

Network Railcard for South East England

By purchasing a Network Railcard for only £30 per year, unlock incredible savings of up to 1/3 on every ticket for your travels within London and the South East. With this Railcard in hand, you can enjoy reduced costs on various ticket types, including Standard or Super Off-Peak Tickets.

Traveling in off-peak train times

Off-Peak train tickets are generally cheaper than peak-time tickets, allowing travel outside morning (6:30 AM–9:30 AM) and evening (4:00 PM–7:00 PM) rush hours on weekdays. If your schedule allows for flexibility, choosing off-peak times for your trip from London Kings Cross to Manchester can result in significant cost savings.

Book in advance to save an average of 61%
