How to book cheap train tickets from Peterborough to Ely
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 Peterborough to Ely can result in significant cost savings.
Get 1/3 off with a Railcard
With a Railcard, you can save up to 1/3 on most rail fares. There are different types of Railcards available, such as the 16–25 Railcard, the Family & Friends Railcard, and the Senior Railcard, each catering to specific groups of travelers. You can discover more about Railcards here.
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 Peterborough to Ely, 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%
