How to book cheap train tickets from Handforth to Chester
Travel during Off-Peak train times
We'd strongly suggest avoiding rush hour crowds by traveling on Off-Peak services, often leading to a cheaper and more peaceful journey. Exact timings vary between providers, but in general, skip traveling between 06:30 AM–09:30 AM and 4:00 PM–7:00 PM on weekdays. Off-Peak rates are available all day on weekends and bank holidays.
Split Tickets discount

The best part is that Trip.com does all the splitting and organising for you, removing any need for time-consuming research on your end.
