How to book cheap train tickets from Pontefract to Castleford
Traveling in off-peak train times

If your schedule allows for flexibility, choosing off-peak times for your trip from Pontefract to Castleford can result in significant cost savings.
Get 1/3 off with a Railcard
You can choose a Railcard to help you save up to 1/3 on fares from Pontefract to Castleford for various reasons, such as your age (including the 16–25 Railcard or Senior Railcard) or options geared towards group travel (Family & Friends Railcard and Two Together Railcard). Discover more here.
Split tickets to save an average extra 30%

This method is perfectly legal and often doesn't require leaving your seat.
Book in advance to save an average of 61%
