How to book cheap train tickets from Needham Market to Colchester Town

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.

Using the Railcard for 1/3 off

Split Tickets to save an average extra 30%

This method is perfectly legal and often doesn’t require leaving your seat.

Book in advance to save an average of 61%
