Split Tickets for greater savings

Instead of purchasing a direct ticket from Chelmsford to Colchester Town, you can split the route into two legs: A to C and C to B. This is often cheaper than purchasing a direct ticket, and you usually won’t need to change trains or seats.

Book in advance to save an average of 61%
