How to book cheap train tickets from Cardiff to Swindon

Travelling in off-peak train times

Taking advantage of Off-Peak train tickets is another effective way to save on your train journey from Cardiff to Swindon. These tickets are generally cheaper and can be used during quieter periods, typically outside of morning (06:30-09:30) and evening (16:00-19:00) rush hours on weekdays.

Using the Railcard for 1/3 off

You can choose a Railcard to help you save up to 1/3 on fares from Cardiff to Swindon 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 to save an average extra 30%

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 Cardiff to Swindon, 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.
