How to book cheap train tickets from Reading to Hackney

Season tickets for frequent travellers
If you make the journey between Reading and Hackney on a weekly, monthly, or yearly basis, a season ticket is well worth considering. It gives you unlimited travel between the two stations at set times for 1 fixed cost, helping you save money while avoiding the hassle of buying separate tickets each time.

Travel during Off-Peak train times
We'd strongly suggest avoiding rush hour crowds by travelling on Off-Peak services, often leading to a cheaper and more peaceful journey. Exact timings vary between providers, but in general, skip travelling between 06:30 AM–09:30 AM and 4:00 PM–7:00 PM on weekdays. Off-Peak rates are available all day on weekends and bank holidays.

Using a Railcard for 1/3 off
Explore a range of Railcards that typically offer 1/3 off most train tickets, including the 16-25, 26-30, Family & Friends, Two Together, Network and Senior Railcards, as well as the 16-17 Saver, which offers 50% off. They’re easy to purchase and store digitally in your Trip.com app, meaning you're only ever a tap away from great savings.

Split Tickets discount
It might seem unusual, but buying several cheaper tickets for different sections of your journey can result in substantial savings - and you won't need to move seats at all. Even better, Trip.com automatically finds and arranges these split tickets for you, so there's no complicated planning required.
