Follow on Google News |  With The Price of Train Tickets Increasing, How Can You Avoid Paying Full Price Train FaresWith massive price increases expected on the trains immediately and even more increases in the future, now is the time to wise up and learn how to cut the costs of your railway travel.
Many people have switched to rail travel due to rising petrol prices, and huge traffic jams etc on the roads. “Many people look for alternative ways to travel due to the rising cost of getting anywhere by car and are stunned when they see the prices that they would have to pay to travel by rail,” said James Jones from Poor Credit Loans 4 You, who specialise in helping to acquire poor credit loans for people throughout the UK who have poor credit history. http://www.poor- There are plenty of tips and tricks out there that can help you cut the cost of your travel, and some of them, the travel companies are not prepared to tell you about. The Family and Friends railcard is the key to unlocking the best deals, said rail expert Alex Nelson of agency Chester-le-Track. "It’s the biggest trick in the book when it comes to getting huge reductions in travel. But I see so many families missing out because they’re not aware of it." If you travel a lot then an annual card would be a great option, it costs just £28, can cut up to a third off adult fares and 60% off child fares and can be used at any time and with any ticket, as long as you have a child with you. “These family and friends railcards are great for saving money and you are sure to make massive savings when travelling with your family, even if they are just used for the summer holidays, you are likely to make savings with them,” said James Jones from Poor Credit Loans 4 You. Family and friend cards are not the only cards available to help you make savings, but also you can buy cards called “Railovers” Mr Nelson said, “Railovers are one of the great unmarketed products of the railway industry. They’re a remnant from before the railways were privatised. But few of the train operating companies like to promote them.” “Travel Cards are not the only way to get significant discounts and you could receive big discounts by booking far enough in advance. Advances are single tickets that tie you to a particular train at a particular time so are best suited to people with good time keeping and organisation,” What is considered to be the best way, and the least known of ways, to save money when travelling by rail is to “Split Tickets", this can sometimes save hundreds of pounds on railway journeys and is available at no extra cost. People are not made aware of split ticketing at railway stations, so it is best to look into the savings you can make yourself. When buying a return from Penzance to Birmingham it will cost you around £127, but if you buy tickets from Penzance to Cheltenham and then from Cheltenham to Birmingham it will cost you around £91.10, saving you £36. “Split ticketing is a great tactic and could lead to savings of hundreds of pounds if used correctly, and there are some great sites out there that can let you know what kind of savings you will make when you use split ticketing.” “Split ticketing can also be used when you start a long journey before peak time etc so you will only pay peak charges for the time that you need to,” said James Jones from Poor Credit Loans 4 You.
