Split Tickets to save an average extra 30%

Splitting your tickets involves buying separate tickets for different parts of your journey instead of one ticket for the entire trip. This method can often be cheaper and is perfectly legal. For instance, if you're traveling from A to B, you might find that purchasing a ticket from A to C, then C to B costs less than a direct ticket.

Traveling during off-peak hours

If your schedule allows flexibility, choosing off-peak hours for your trip from Bristol to Dorchester can result in significant cost savings. In most cities and large towns, off-peak hours usually start at 09:30 from Monday to Friday. In other areas, they typically begin at 09:00.

Travel in a group to save 1/3

If you are traveling in a group of three to nine people, you can take advantage of group travel discounts. Many train companies offer GroupSave options that provide a discount of up to 1/3 on off-peak fares. This can make traveling from Bristol to Dorchester more affordable for families, friends, or colleagues planning a trip together.
