<a href="https://uk.trip.com/trains/guide/uk-train-off-peak-times/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Travel during Off-Peak train times</a>

Travel during Off-Peak train times

To enjoy a calmer and often cheaper journey, we recommend choosing Off-Peak services and steering clear of the busy rush-hour periods. While timings differ slightly by operator, it's usually best to avoid traveling between 06:30 AM–09:30 AM and 4:00 PM–7:00 PM on weekdays. On weekends and bank holidays, Off-Peak fares apply all day.
