How to book cheap train tickets from Reading to Thatcham

Using the Railcard for 1/3 off

Split Tickets for greater savings

Splitting tickets is a perfectly legal practice that involves purchasing separate, cheaper tickets for different segments of your journey on the same train instead of a single ticket for the entire trip. For example, if you are travelling from Reading to Thatcham, you might discover that buying a ticket from A to C, and then another ticket from C to B, is more economical than a direct ticket.

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. By planning your trip from Reading to Thatcham ahead of time and securing your tickets early, you can save up to 61% on the cost of your travel.

Group travels to save 1/3
