How to book cheap train tickets from Preston (Lancs) to St Helens
Traveling in off-peak train times

Get 1/3 off with a Railcard
You can choose a Railcard to help you save up to 1/3 on fares from Preston (Lancs) to St Helens 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 for greater savings

For example, if you are travelling from Preston (Lancs) to St Helens, you might discover that buying a ticket from A to C, and then another ticket from C to B, is more economical than a direct ticket.
