How to book cheap train tickets from Cardiff Central to Thetford

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 Cardiff Central to Thetford can result in significant cost savings.

Get 1/3 off with a Railcard
