Using the Railcard for 1/3 off

You can choose a Railcard to help you save up to 1/3 on fares from Cardiff Bay to Nottingham for various reasons, such as your age (including the 16-25 Railcard or Senior Railcard) or options geared towards group travel (Family & Friends Railcard and Two Together Railcard). Discover more here.

Split Tickets for greater savings

Another option to consider is splitting your tickets to save more on fares. Instead of purchasing a direct ticket from Cardiff Bay to Nottingham, you can split the route into two legs: A to C and C to B. This is often cheaper than purchasing a direct ticket, and you usually won’t need to change trains or seats.

Book in advance to save an average of 61%
