Book cheap train tickets from Leicester to Birmingham

It doesn’t need to be difficult to find cheap train tickets from Leicester to Birmingham. If you know where to look and how to take advantage of available discounts and travel options, then saving money with Trip.com becomes second nature. Here are some of our top tips to help you save money on your train travel.

Split Tickets to save an average extra 30%

Splitting your tickets involves purchasing separate tickets for different segments of your journey instead of a single ticket for the entire trip. This method is legal and can often result in cheaper fares. For example, if you are travelling from A to B, you might discover that buying a ticket from A to C, and then another ticket from C to B, is more economical than purchasing a direct ticket.

Get 1/3 off with a Railcard

Various Railcards are available for different groups and can save you up to 1/3 on fares from Leicester to Birmingham. You can choose the 16–25 Railcard or Senior Railcard based on your age. Additionally, the Family & Friends Railcard or Two Together Railcard are good options for group travel.

Travel in a group to save 1/3

If you are planning a trip with a group of three to nine people, there's good news for you! You can take advantage of group travel discounts that are offered by many train companies. These discounts can save you up to 1/3 on off-peak fares, making your journey from Leicester to Birmingham more affordable.
