How to book cheap train tickets from Christchurch to Sway
Traveling in off-peak train times
Taking advantage of Off-Peak train tickets is another effective way to save on your train journey from Christchurch to Sway. These tickets are generally cheaper and can be used during quieter periods, typically outside of morning (6:30 AM–9:30 AM) and evening (4:00 PM–7:00 PM) rush hours on weekdays.
Get 1/3 off with a Railcard
You can choose a Railcard to help you save up to 1/3 on fares from Christchurch to Sway 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 to save an average extra 30%
Splitting tickets is a perfectly legal practice that involves purchasing separate, cheaper tickets for different segments of your journey on the same train instead of a single ticket for the entire trip. For example, if you are travelling from Christchurch to Sway, you might discover that buying a ticket from A to C, and then another ticket from C to B, is more economical than a direct ticket.
Book in advance to save an average of 61%
Advance Tickets are usually released up to 12 weeks before the travel date and can be significantly cheaper than tickets purchased closer to departure. By planning your trip from Christchurch to Sway ahead of time and securing your tickets early, you can save up to 61% on the cost of your travel.
