Buying the right ticket is an important part of travelling by
train. We want you to select the best value ticket that allows
you to travel at the times most convenient to you.
Simple names
The name of each ticket describes when you can buy or use your ticket, making it easier for you to buy the best value ticket for your journey. For example, if you buy an Anytime fare, you can use it to travel any time during the day.
Buy in advance or on the day, travel any time.
Buy in advance or on the day, travel Off-Peak &
Super Off-Peak.
Buy in advance, subject to availability on selected trains.
Names apply to Single and Return fares in Standard and First Class.
To get the best value for money, you will often find that
travelling on our less busy services, and in some cases,
booking in advance will give you greater savings.
