Ways to save

If you’re a regular train user, a Railcard is a very good investment. You buy your card for one or three years, and depending on your age group, you can qualify for one third or even 50% discounts on all your off-peak travel. The savings can really mount up, so look into it if you travel a lot.

For more immediate savings, you can start by booking directly through this website or on our app. Unlike third-party ticket sellers, we don’t charge a fee, so there’s a saving straight away. And if you do happen to find the same ticket cheaper elsewhere, just let us know – we’ll refund the difference.

A group booking can be a good way to save, too. If there are three or more of you, book together and you can pay significantly less than booking individually – and you’re more likely to be able to sit together.

Avoid peak hours if you can, as that’ll save you compared to travelling during the rush hour. And the further in advance you book, the more you’ll save, so as soon as you find out you need to travel to Tamworth, come over and book here. Find out more on our “ways to save” page.

Things to do in Tamworth

If you love your history, a visit to Tamworth Castle is a must. It can date its story back to just after the end of the Roman Empire, through Saxons, the Medieval period, Tudors, Stuarts, Georgians and Victorians. It was even depicted by J. M. W. Turner in 1832. You can only imagine the stories of derring-do that surround it, all brought vividly to life with a tour of the walls and rooms. Some even say it’s haunted, so be prepared.

Thrill rides galore are the order of the day at Drayton Manor. It’s located just on the outskirts of town and is easily the top attraction in the area. It’s not only for thrill-seekers, of course. There’s a zoo, mini golf and the famous Thomas Land, dedicated to every child’s favourite tank engine. You can even stay at the on-site hotel to get the most out of your stay.

A few hours of frosty fun is guaranteed at Tamworth Snow Dome. As well as a massive 170-metre main slope, there’s also ice skating, tobogganing, climbing, swimming), a gym, shops, cafes and restaurants to enjoy. It’s a brilliant complex for lovers of fitness and winter sports, so whether you’re practising for Courchevel or just entertaining the kids, you’ll find fulfilment on- and off-piste.
