Split Tickets for greater savings

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 Canterbury East to Chatham, 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 Canterbury East to Chatham ahead of time and securing your tickets early, you can save up to 61% on the cost of your travel.

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.
