How to get cheap train tickets
The best way to get cheap train tickets is by joining our campaign for Fair Fares Now! Like our Fair Fares Now Facebook page, sign up for our monthly Fair Fares Now e-bulletin, or make a donation to this and our other work. We are now in the unenviable position of having some of the highest rail fares in the world and it's set to get worse. The Government continues to increase regulated fares (which include season tickets and overnight returns) above inflation each year. In fact, fares are now rising twice as fast as incomes. The good news is there are still some bargains to be had if you know where to look. With literally millions of combinations of tickets available it can be a minefield to find the best deal, so here are some tips to help you find the right fare – along with ways we're campaigning to make the system fairer.
