How to book cheap train tickets from Glasgow to Birmingham
Traveling in off-peak train times

Split Tickets for greater savings
Another option to consider is splitting your tickets to save more on fares. Instead of purchasing a direct ticket from Glasgow to Birmingham, you can split the route into two legs: A to C and C to B. This is often cheaper than purchasing a direct ticket, and you usually won’t need to change trains or seats.
Book in advance to save an average of 61%
