How to book cheap train tickets from Runcorn to Glasgow

Traveling in off-peak train times

We recommend buying train tickets from Runcorn to Glasgow during off-peak hours.

Get 1/3 off with a Railcard

You can choose a Railcard to help you save up to 1/3 on fares from Runcorn to Glasgow 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%

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 Runcorn to Glasgow, you can split the route into two legs: A to C and C to B.

Book in advance to save an average of 61%
