How to book cheap train tickets from Stansted to Gainsborough

Travelling in off-peak train times
We recommend buying train tickets from Stansted to Gainsborough during off-peak hours.

Using the Railcard for 1/3 off
You can choose a Railcard to help you save up to 1/3 on fares from Stansted to Gainsborough for various reasons, such as your age (including the 16-25 Railcard or Senior Railcard) or options geared towards group travel (Family & Friends Railcard and Two Together Railcard). Discover more here.

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.

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

Book in advance to save an average of 61%

By planning your trip from Stansted to Gainsborough ahead of time and securing your tickets early, you can save up to 61% on the cost of your travel.

Group travels to save 1/3
If you are travelling in a group of three to nine people, take advantage of group travel discounts, offered by most train companies, for a discount of up to 1/3 on standard fares.
