How to save money on trains?

We want to make it easier to be green, so here are the best ways to travel by train and not break the bank.

Book in advance

Not all tickets are created equal. Some are just, well, cheaper. Book up to 12 weeks in advance and save an average of 61%*.

Grab a Railcard

Get 1/3 off travel** when you use a Railcard, which means the more you travel the more you save.

Split your tickets

Automatically splitting your journey into multiple cheaper tickets. In a nutshell, you stay on the exact same train, but it just costs you less.
