How to book cheap train tickets from Whitstable to Canterbury East
Traveling in off-peak train times

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

Split tickets to save an average extra 30%
