How to book cheap train tickets from Preston to Eccles
Traveling in off-peak train times
Off-Peak train tickets are generally cheaper than peak-time tickets, allowing travel outside morning (6:30 AM–9:30 AM) and evening (4:00 PM–7:00 PM) rush hours on weekdays. If your schedule allows for flexibility, choosing off-peak times for your trip from Preston to Eccles can result in significant cost savings.
Get 1/3 off with a Railcard

Split Tickets for greater savings
