How to book cheap train tickets from Alexandria to Birmingham New Street

Travelling in off-peak train times

We recommend buying train tickets from Alexandria to Birmingham New Street during off-peak hours.

Using the Railcard for 1/3 off

You can choose a Railcard to help you save up to 1/3 on fares from Alexandria to Birmingham New Street for various reasons, such as your age (including the 16-25 Railcard or Senior Railcard) or options geared towards group travel (Family & Friends Railcard and Two Together Railcard).

Split Tickets to save an average extra 30%

Splitting tickets is a perfectly legal practice that involves purchasing separate, cheaper tickets for different segments of your journey on the same train instead of a single ticket for the entire trip. For example, if you are travelling from Alexandria to Birmingham New Street, you might discover that buying a ticket from A to C, and then another ticket from C to B, is more economical than a direct ticket.

Book in advance to save an average of 61%

By planning your trip from Alexandria to Birmingham New Street ahead of time and booking your tickets early, you can potentially save up to 61% on your travel expenses.

Group travels to save 1/3

If you are travelling in a group of three to nine people, take advantage of group travel discounts, offered by most train companies, for a discount of up to 1/3 on standard fares.
