How to book cheap train tickets from Birmingham to Ely

Season tickets for frequent travelers
Regular commuters traveling between Birmingham and Ely - whether weekly, monthly, or annually - can benefit greatly from season tickets. Season tickets allow unlimited travel between both stations within specific time periods, offering substantial savings and eliminating the need to purchase individual tickets for every trip.

Book in advance
Advance tickets, usually released up to 12 weeks before travel, can save you up to 61% on journeys from Birmingham to Ely when booked at least 1 week in advance. Savings exclude Anytime fares, and are subject to route availability.

Travel during Off-Peak train times
For a quieter, better-value trip, try to travel during Off-Peak hours rather than the busiest weekday periods. Although exact times can vary between train companies, the general rule is to avoid the 6:30 AM–09:30 AM and 4:00 PM–7:00 PM windows. At weekends and on bank holidays, Off-Peak pricing typically applies throughout the entire day.

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.
