Ways to save on top of a resale ticket

Book Advance fares early

Advance tickets are released up to 12 weeks ahead and are usually the cheapest new-ticket option - the earlier you book, the more choice you get.

Travel Off-Peak

Avoiding the morning and evening rush can cut the price of a walk-up fare significantly, even on the same route and operator.

Use a Railcard

A Railcard knocks up to 1/3 off most fares and pays for itself after a handful of journeys if you travel regularly.

Try split ticketing

Buying two or more tickets that cover different legs of the same journey is sometimes cheaper than one through-ticket for the full route.
