How to book cheap train tickets from Sheffield to Folkestone
Traveling in off-peak train times
Taking advantage of Off-Peak train tickets is another effective way to save on your train journey from Sheffield to Folkestone.

Get 1/3 off with a Railcard
You can choose a Railcard to help you save up to 1/3 on fares from Sheffield to Folkestone 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. For instance, if you're traveling from Sheffield to Folkestone, 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.

If you are traveling in a group, be sure to check out group travel discounts. Many train companies offer a ⅓ off standard fares for groups of three to nine people, making traveling from Sheffield to Folkestone more affordable for families, friends, or colleagues planning a trip together.
