How to book cheap train tickets from Ipswich to Ely

Split Tickets discount
While it may sound surprising, splitting your route into smaller segments and purchasing separate low-cost tickets can greatly reduce the overall fare, all without changing seats. 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.

Book in advance
Booking Advance tickets at least 1 week before departure can reduce your fare by up to 61% on routes from Ipswich to Ely. Advance fares are usually released 12 weeks prior to travel and exclude Anytime fares, with savings depending on route availability.

Season tickets for frequent travelers
If you make the journey between Ipswich and Ely on a weekly, monthly, or yearly basis, a season ticket is well worth considering. It gives you unlimited travel between the two stations at set times for 1 fixed cost, helping you save money while avoiding the hassle of buying separate tickets each time.

Travel during Off-Peak train times
To enjoy a calmer and often cheaper journey, we recommend choosing Off-Peak services and steering clear of the busy rush-hour periods. While timings differ slightly by operator, it's usually best to avoid traveling between 06:30 AM–09:30 AM and 4:00 PM–7:00 PM on weekdays. On weekends and bank holidays, Off-Peak fares apply all day.
