How to book cheap train tickets from Ely to Thetford

Traveling in off-peak train times

Instead of purchasing a direct ticket from Ely to Thetford, you can split the route into two legs: A to C and C to B. This often turns out to be more affordable than buying a direct ticket, and you won't even need to leave the train… or often your seat!

Book in advance to save an average of 61%
