Ways to save on top of a resale ticket

Book Advance fares early

Advance tickets are released up to 12 weeks ahead and are usually the cheapest new-ticket option — the earlier you book, the more choice you get.

Travel Off-Peak

Avoiding the morning and evening rush can cut the price of a walk-up fare significantly, even on the same route and operator.

Use a Railcard

A Railcard knocks up to 1/3 off most fares and pays for itself after a handful of journeys if you travel regularly.

Try split ticketing

Buying two or more tickets that cover different legs of the same journey is sometimes cheaper than one through-ticket for the full route.

Frequently asked questions

Are tickets on SaveMyFare valid for travel into Kings Cross?
Yes. Every ticket is verified before listing - we check the reference, date and route against the original booking. Once you purchase, the ticket transfers to you as the travelling passenger.
Which operators run into London Kings Cross?
LNER is the main operator, running high-speed East Coast Main Line services from Edinburgh, Leeds, York and Newcastle. CrossCountry also connects Kings Cross to destinations across the Midlands and north. Thameslink runs suburban services in and around London.
Can I use a railcard on a resold ticket?
Only if the original ticket was purchased with that railcard. The listing will clearly show any railcard restriction - check before buying, as the barrier may reject the ticket without the required card.
How do I receive the ticket after buying?
Once payment clears, the seller transfers the ticket to you - usually via a new booking reference or through the LNER or CrossCountry app. Your confirmation email includes full instructions.
What's the difference between Kings Cross and St Pancras?
They're adjacent stations - two minutes walk apart. Kings Cross is for domestic UK services (LNER, Thameslink, CrossCountry). St Pancras is for Eurostar international services to Paris and Brussels, and also serves East Midlands Railway routes to Nottingham and Sheffield.
What if my train is cancelled?
Delay Repay and cancellation rights apply as normal - the ticket is genuine and treated the same as one bought direct from the operator. Contact LNER or CrossCountry directly with your booking reference.
Can I bring a bike on a train from King's Cross?
Most LNER and CrossCountry services carry a limited number of bikes free of charge, but you must reserve a bike space in advance as it's separate from a seat reservation - spaces can sell out on busy departures, especially in summer.
Is there a luggage limit for trains from King's Cross?
There's no strict weight limit, but you're expected to be able to carry and lift your own bags, and oversized items like bikes or large sports equipment may need a separate reservation. Left luggage storage is available at the Platform 9 entrance if you need to store bags before or after travelling.
Is there Wi-Fi on trains from King's Cross?
Yes, free Wi-Fi is available on LNER, CrossCountry and most other services running into King's Cross, in both Standard and First Class, though signal can be patchy in rural stretches north of Newcastle.
Can I take my dog on the train?
Yes, most operators allow up to two dogs free of charge per passenger, and they must stay on a lead or in a carrier and not occupy a seat. Assistance dogs travel free with no limit.
