Travel Tips

Make the most of your journey. Enjoy a hassle-free trip with these handy hints.

  • If you're planning a longer journey it's well worth booking your ticket at least a day in advance - it might save you even more money.
  • Crowded stations, nowhere to sit, who wants to travel in rush hour? Make your journey more enjoyable and save money when you travel off-peak.
  • Heading for the Capital? Your Railcard discount also applies to tickets which include the London Off-Peak Day Travelcard (All Zones only). That way you can travel around on tubes and buses too.
  • If you're going further afield then most Train Companies will allow you to reserve a seat. They'll also offer you some assistance if you need it.
  • There's no room for sea sickness with discounts on through rail/sea journeys to the Isle of Wight on Wightlink and Red Funnel Ferries, Irish Ferries and Stena Line. Discounts also available on through rail/bus journeys with PlusBus. Visit www.plusbus.info or your local staffed station for further details.
