How to book cheap train tickets from Port Talbot to Cardiff Central

Travelling in off-peak train times

Split Tickets to save an average extra 30%

For instance, if you're travelling from Port Talbot to Cardiff Central, 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 typically released up to 12 weeks before the travel date and can offer significant savings compared to tickets purchased closer to departure. By planning your trip from Port Talbot to Cardiff Central ahead of time and booking your tickets early, you can potentially save up to 61% on your travel expenses.

Group travels to save 1/3
