How to book cheap train tickets from York to London

Season Tickets for frequent travels

If you frequently travel between York and London, a Season Ticket allows unlimited travel between these stations and is available for various durations, such as weekly, monthly, annually, or flexi. Enjoy the convenience of not having to buy a ticket for each journey, as well as significant savings.

Network Railcard for Southeast England

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.

Travelling in off-peak train times

Off-Peak train tickets are generally cheaper than peak-time tickets, allowing travel outside morning (06:30-09:30) and evening (16:00-19:00) rush hours on weekdays. If your schedule allows for flexibility, choosing off-peak times for your trip from York to London can result in significant cost savings.

Using the Railcard for 1/3 off

With a Railcard, you can save up to 1/3 on most rail fares. There are different types of Railcards available, such as the 16–25 Railcard, the Family & Friends Railcard, and the Senior Railcard, each catering to specific groups of travellers. You can discover more about Railcards here.

Split Tickets to save an average extra 30%

Another option to consider is splitting your tickets, which can save you around extra 30% on fares. Instead of purchasing a direct ticket from York to London, you can split the route into two legs: A to C and C to B. This often turns out to be more affordable than buying a direct ticket, and you won’t even need to leave the train… or often 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 York to London 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

If you are travelling in a group, be sure to check out group travel discounts. Many train companies offer a ⅓ off standard fares for groups of three to nine people, making travelling from York to London more affordable for families, friends, or colleagues planning a trip together.
