How to book cheap train tickets from Plymouth to Pontypridd

Travelling in off-peak train times

Using the Railcard for 1/3 off

Split Tickets for greater savings

Instead of purchasing a direct ticket from Plymouth to Pontypridd, 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%
