How to book cheap train tickets from Harpenden to Runcorn

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.

Split tickets to save an average extra 30%

This method is perfectly legal and often doesn't require leaving your seat.
