How to book cheap train tickets from Preston (Lancs) to Manchester Oxford Road

Traveling in off-peak train times

If your schedule allows for flexibility, choosing off-peak times for your trip from Preston (Lancs) to Manchester Oxford Road can result in significant cost savings.

Split tickets to save an average extra 30%

Splitting tickets is a perfectly legal practice that involves purchasing separate, cheaper tickets for different segments of your journey on the same train instead of a single ticket for the entire trip. For example, if you are travelling from Preston (Lancs) to Manchester Oxford Road, you might discover that buying a ticket from A to C, and then another ticket from C to B, is more economical than a direct ticket.

Book in advance to save an average of 61%
