Travel during Off-Peak train times

We'd strongly suggest avoiding rush hour crowds by travelling on Off-Peak services, often leading to a cheaper and more peaceful journey. Exact timings vary between providers, but in general, skip travelling between 06:30 AM–09:30 AM and 4:00 PM–7:00 PM on weekdays. Off-Peak rates are available all day on weekends and bank holidays.
