How to book cheap train tickets from Cambridge to London Kings Cross

Season Tickets for frequent travel

Are you frequently traveling between Cambridge and London Kings Cross on a weekly, monthly, or annual basis? Season Tickets provide unlimited travel during specific times, allowing you to freely hop on and off trains between two stations without worrying about individual ticket bookings, and offering significant savings in the process.

Network Railcard for South East England

For only a small annual fee, you can save 1/3 on most fares in South East England, including routes in and out of London, with the Network Railcard. Covering both standard and off-peak tickets, this railcard is particularly beneficial for those who travel regularly within this region.

Traveling in off-peak train times

Off-Peak train tickets are generally cheaper than peak-time tickets, allowing travel outside morning (6:30 AM–9:30 AM) and evening (4:00 PM–7:00 PM) rush hours on weekdays. If your schedule allows for flexibility, choosing off-peak times for your trip from Cambridge to London Kings Cross can result in significant cost savings.

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 traveling from Cambridge to London Kings Cross, 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.
