Compare fare

Oxford sits at the meeting point of two very different railways: Great Western Railway's fast, frequent shuttle up from London Paddington, and CrossCountry's north-south artery linking the Midlands and the North to the south coast. That mix means Oxford station is busy in every direction at once - commuters and day-trippers heading for London, students and academics filling weekday services, and long-distance CrossCountry trains threading through to Birmingham, Manchester and Southampton.

Because so many of the cheapest Advance fares on the Oxford to London route are sold for one specific train, plans that change at short notice leave a genuine ticket unused. That's where SaveMyFare comes in - every listing is a real, verified fare for a real departure, checked against the booking before it goes live, so you can pick up a train tickets Oxford to London (or London to Oxford) fare for less than GWR is charging on the day.

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 to and from Oxford?

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 operators run train tickets from Oxford to London?

Can I use a railcard on a resold ticket to or from Oxford?

A railcard discount is already baked into the ticket price at the time it was booked, so any railcard-discounted fare you buy on SaveMyFare is valid as booked - you don't need to carry the original passenger's railcard.
