How to book cheap train tickets from Lochgelly to Preston
Traveling in off-peak train times

Get 1/3 off with a Railcard
You can choose a Railcard to help you save up to 1/3 on fares from Lochgelly to Preston for various reasons, such as your age (including the 16–25 Railcard or Senior Railcard) or options geared towards group travel (Family & Friends Railcard and Two Together Railcard). Discover more here.
Split Tickets for greater savings

This method is perfectly legal and often doesn't require leaving your seat.
