How to book cheap train tickets from Dorchester to Birmingham

Split tickets to save an average extra 30%

For instance, if you're traveling from Dorchester to Birmingham, 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.

Book in advance to save an average of 61%

Advance Tickets are usually released up to 12 weeks before the travel date and can be significantly cheaper than tickets purchased closer to departure. By planning your trip from Dorchester to Birmingham ahead of time and securing your tickets early, you can save up to 61% on the cost of your travel.

Travel in a group to save 1/3
