How to book cheap train tickets from Birmingham to City Thameslink

Traveling in off-peak train times

We recommend buying train tickets from Birmingham to City Thameslink during off-peak hours. These times are usually before 06:30, between 09:30 and 16:00, and after 19:00 on weekdays, as well as all day on weekends and bank holidays. Choosing Off-Peak train tickets means benefiting from cheaper fares and less crowded trains, making your journey more enjoyable.

Get 1/3 off with a Railcard

You can choose a Railcard to help you save up to 1/3 on fares from Birmingham to City Thameslink 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%

Splitting tickets is a perfectly legal practice that involves purchasing separate, cheaper tickets for different segments of your journey on the same train instead of a single ticket for the entire trip. For example, if you are travelling from Birmingham to City Thameslink, 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.

Book in advance to save an average of 61%

Did you know that purchasing Advance Tickets can significantly reduce your travel expenses? On average, these tickets can save you an impressive 61% on fares. The best part is that the earlier you book (ideally up to 12 weeks in advance), the greater the savings!
