How to book cheap train tickets from Leicester to Nottingham

Travelling in off-peak train times

Travelling in off-peak train times

We recommend buying train tickets from Leicester to Nottingham during off-peak hours.

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 Nottingham, 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.
