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.
