How to book cheap train tickets from Hackney to Cambridge

Traveling in off-peak train times

Get 1/3 off with a Railcard

Split tickets to save an average extra 30%

Another option to consider is splitting your tickets, which can save you around an extra 30% on fares. Instead of purchasing a direct ticket from Hackney to Cambridge, you can split the route into two legs: A to C and C to B. This often turns out to be more affordable than buying a direct ticket, and you won't even need to leave the train… or often your seat!

Book in advance to save an average of 61%
