How to book cheap train tickets from Preston to Blackpool North

Traveling in off-peak train times

We recommend buying train tickets from Preston to Blackpool North during off-peak hours. These times are usually before 06:30, between 09:30 and 16:00, and after 19:00 on weekdays, as well as all day on weekends and bank holidays. Choosing Off-Peak train tickets means benefiting from cheaper fares and less crowded trains, making your journey more enjoyable.

Get 1/3 off with a Railcard

With a Railcard, you can save up to 1/3 on most rail fares. There are different types of Railcards available, such as the 16–25 Railcard, the Family & Friends Railcard, and the Senior Railcard, each catering to specific groups of travelers. You can discover more about Railcards here.

Split tickets to save an average extra 30%

Another option to consider is splitting your tickets, which can save you around an extra 30% on fares. Instead of purchasing a direct ticket from Preston to Blackpool North, you can split the route into two legs: A to C and C to B. This often turns out to be more affordable than buying a direct ticket, and you won't even need to leave the train… or often your seat!

Book in advance to save an average of 61%
