How to book cheap train tickets from Folkestone West to Canterbury

Travelling in off-peak train times

If your schedule allows for flexibility, choosing off-peak times for your trip from Folkestone West to Canterbury can result in significant cost savings.

Using the Railcard for 1/3 off

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 Folkestone West to Canterbury, 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 Folkestone West to Canterbury 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
