How to book cheap train tickets from Cambridge to Ely
Traveling in off-peak train times
We recommend buying train tickets from Cambridge to Ely during off-peak hours.

Split Tickets for greater savings
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 Ely, 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.
