Book in advance

If you know the dates you want to travel, you may be able to find some cheaper train tickets from St-Étienne Châteaucreux to Vichy by booking early.§
Be flexible with your travel times
Many of the train services in Europe are also popular commuter services, lots of train companies increase ticket prices during “peak hours” (generally between 06:00 – 10:00 and 15:00 – 19:00 on weekdays). If you can, consider travelling outside of peak hours to find lower priced tickets.
