London Paddington is Great Western Railway's historic terminus, sending high-speed Intercity Express Trains west along the Great Western Main Line. It's the London end for train tickets Bristol to London, train tickets Exeter to London, and the short, frequent hop covered by train tickets Reading to Paddington - as well as onward GWR routes to Cardiff, Bath and Oxford.

GWR's Advance fares on the Bristol and Exeter intercity routes offer some of the biggest savings on the network when booked early, which means genuine unused tickets turn up regularly when a traveller's plans shift. Every listing on SaveMyFare from Paddington is checked against the original booking reference before it goes live, so you know exactly what you're buying.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Are tickets on SaveMyFare valid for travel into Paddington?

Yes. Every ticket is verified before listing - we check the reference, date and route against the original booking. Once you purchase, the ticket transfers to you as the travelling passenger.

Which operator runs into London Paddington?

Great Western Railway operates almost all services from Paddington, running Intercity Express Trains to Bristol, Exeter, Cardiff and the South West, plus commuter and Elizabeth line services to Reading and Heathrow.

Can I use a railcard on a resold Paddington ticket?

Any railcard discount already applied when the ticket was purchased carries over with it. You don't need to hold that railcard yourself to travel, but always check the ticket's terms before buying if you plan a separate return.

How does the ticket transfer work after I buy?

Once payment is confirmed, we send you the ticket details and any required reference or barcode. For e-tickets and Advance singles this is usually instant; for tickets that require reissuing, our team handles it directly with the operator.

Are there resale tickets for the Bristol and Exeter routes?

Yes, these are among the most listed routes from Paddington. GWR's deepest Advance discounts are on the Bristol and Exeter intercity services, so unused tickets from cancelled trips appear here often - along with shorter hops like Reading.

Is Bristol Temple Meads covered on this page too?

This page focuses on Great Western Railway's route from Paddington's side. If Bristol Temple Meads is your departure or arrival point, SaveMyFare has a dedicated Bristol station page with its own listings and route information.
