How to book cheap train tickets from Runcorn to Eccles
Split Tickets discount
It may sound odd, but splitting your journey into smaller segments by purchasing separate, cheaper tickets can often lead to significant savings, all while you remain in the same seat for the entire trip. The best part? Trip.com handles these splits for you, meaning you don't have to do any painstaking planning.
Using a Railcard for 1/3 off
Explore a range of Railcards that typically offer 1/3 off most train tickets, including the 16-25, 26-30, Family & Friends, Two Together, Network and Senior Railcards, as well as the 16-17 Saver, which offers 50% off. They’re easy to purchase and store digitally in your Trip.com app, meaning you're only ever a tap away from great savings.
Travel during Off-Peak train times
To enjoy a calmer and often cheaper journey, we recommend choosing Off-Peak services and steering clear of the busy rush-hour periods. While timings differ slightly by operator, it's usually best to avoid travelling between 06:30 AM–09:30 AM and 4:00 PM–7:00 PM on weekdays. On weekends and bank holidays, Off-Peak fares apply all day.
