Season Train Tickets

Season tickets offer the best value if you are a commuter or regular traveller. You can purchase a weekly season ticket, or one for any period between a month and a year.

Train season tickets offer the best value if you travel to the office every day, do three hybrid days or more times a week commute, or just a regular traveller. You can purchase a weekly, monthly, or yearly ticket.

The benefits of getting a season rail ticket

• Free weekend travel across the Chiltern network when you buy through Chiltern and your ticket is:
• Monthly Rail Season Ticket (or longer) and worth over £150/month, or
• Annual Rail Ticket and worth over £1,500/year (Excludes Flexi Season)

Annual Season Rail Ticket

This is our best value option. You get 52 weeks of travel for the price of 40. This means you get 12 weeks of travel for free. This is around 23% cheaper over a year, and still good value if you travel 3 days a week.

Monthly Season Rail Ticket

This is great if you want to pay once and forget about it for the month. It is cheaper than buying four weekly tickets.

Chiltern Gold Card

When you purchase an annual ticket with any Annual Season Ticket to/from a Chiltern station you automatically get a Gold Card. This card gives you and up to three friends a third off travel across Chiltern’s network at the weekends and off-peak times. You can also save 60% on tickets for up to four children.
