Season Tickets for frequent travels

If you frequently travel between London Waterloo and Cambridge, 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

For only a small annual fee, you can save 1/3 on most fares in Southeast England, including routes in and out of London, with the Network Railcard. Covering both standard and off-peak tickets, this railcard is particularly beneficial for those who travel regularly 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.

Split Tickets to save an average extra 30%

Splitting tickets involves buying separate, cheaper tickets for different parts of your journey on the same train instead of just one ticket for the entire trip. For instance, if you're travelling from London Waterloo to Cambridge, you might find that purchasing a ticket from A to C, then C to B costs less than a direct ticket. This method is perfectly legal and often doesn’t require leaving your seat.
