How to book cheap train tickets from Leicester to Machynlleth
Travelling in off-peak train times
We recommend buying train tickets from Leicester to Machynlleth during off-peak hours.

Using the Railcard for 1/3 off

Split Tickets to save an average extra 30%
Splitting tickets involves buying separate, cheaper tickets for different parts of your journey on the same train instead of just one ticket for the entire trip. For instance, if you're travelling from Leicester to Machynlleth, you might find that purchasing a ticket from A to C, then C to B costs less than a direct ticket. This method is perfectly legal and often doesn’t require leaving your seat.
Book in advance to save an average of 61%
Advance Tickets are typically released up to 12 weeks before the travel date and can offer significant savings compared to tickets purchased closer to departure. By planning your trip from Leicester to Machynlleth 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 planning a trip with a group of three to nine people, take advantage of ⅓ off standard fares with group travel discounts, offered by many train companies, perfect for journeys with your family, friends, or colleagues.
