See railcards section → Stack for maximum savings📋 THE RULES — KEEP THESE IN MIND
✅ You must be on the train when it passes the split point. If York is your split, ya stay sat on the train as it passes through York. Don't get off.
✅ Both tickets must be valid for the same train. TrainSplit handles this automatically — it only shows valid combinations.
✅ Works with any train operator. LNER, Avanti, GWR, TransPennine, CrossCountry — all of them.
✅ Works with railcards. Apply your railcard to each ticket separately for double savings.
⚠️ Keep all tickets on ya. If checked, show both. The inspector knows what split ticketing is.
