How to book cheap train tickets from Thorpe Bay to Manchester Piccadilly

Travelling in off-peak train times

For instance, if you're travelling from Thorpe Bay to Manchester Piccadilly, 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.
