To save on train travel in Southeast England, consider getting a Network Railcard. For a £30 annual fee, this railcard offers 1/3 off most fares, including routes to and from London. Whether for standard or off-peak tickets, it’s highly advantageous for frequent travellers within this region.

Split Tickets to save an average extra 30%

Splitting tickets involves buying separate, cheaper tickets for different parts of your journey on the same train instead of just one ticket for the entire trip. For instance, if you're travelling from London Waterloo to University (Birmingham), you might find that purchasing a ticket from A to C, then C to B costs less than a direct ticket. This method is perfectly legal and often doesn’t require leaving your seat.

Book in advance to save an average of 61%

Advance Tickets are usually released up to 12 weeks before the travel date and can be significantly cheaper than tickets purchased closer to departure.
