How do I buy tickets at Halifax station?

When you plan your trip in advance, you’ll be able to choose from a range of great-value tickets for Halifax trains. How much cheaper your rail fare will be and the type of ticket you buy depends on when you’re travelling and how open you can be about departure times.

The three main types of train tickets available to buy for travel from or to Halifax train station – and other locations in the UK – are Advance, Anytime and Off-peak. It’s worth knowing the difference between these so you can decide on the type that will work for you.

Advance tickets are ideal if you have a budget in mind and know the exact time and date you want to travel. Booking these well ahead of your travel date will bag you the best fares.
