Tips for buying the cheapest train tickets

• Always book as far ahead as you can – Advance tickets are usually the cheapest.
   
• Be flexible – the cheapest tickets are off-peak so avoid the morning and evening rush hour if you can, all weekend and bank holiday tickets are off-peak.
   
• 2 singles can often be cheaper than a return.
   
• If you are 16-17, you can purchase a Saver Card that can save you 50% on fares.
   
• Save 1/3 with any of the following Railcards:
  • 16-25 Railcard
  • Two Together Railcard
  • Family and Friends Railcard
  • Senior Railcard
  • Disabled Person’s Railcard
  • Network Railcard
  • HM Forces Railcard
  • Annual Gold card
     
• Get a Group travel deal if there are 3 or more of you travelling 
   
• See if you can save with a Season ticket – if you take the same journey 3 or 4 times a week, it’s probably the cheapest way to travel.
