How to book cheap train tickets from Folkestone Central to Canterbury
Traveling in off-peak train times

If your schedule allows for flexibility, choosing off-peak times for your trip from Folkestone Central to Canterbury can result in significant cost savings.
Get 1/3 off with a Railcard

Split tickets to save an average extra 30%
