How to book cheap train tickets from Forres to Preston (Lancs)

Travelling in off-peak train times

Off-Peak train tickets are generally cheaper than peak-time tickets, allowing travel outside morning (06:30-09:30) and evening (16:00-19:00) rush hours on weekdays. If your schedule allows for flexibility, choosing off-peak times for your trip from Forres to Preston (Lancs) can result in significant cost savings.

Using the Railcard for 1/3 off

Split Tickets for greater savings

Instead of purchasing a direct ticket from Forres to Preston (Lancs), you can split the route into two legs: A to C and C to B. This is often cheaper than purchasing a direct ticket, and you usually won’t need to change trains or seats.

Book in advance to save an average of 61%
