Compare fares and book train tickets
Enter your departure and arrival stations, travel dates, preferred times and passengers in the RailSaver booking service. Add any Railcard you will hold when travelling, then compare the available journeys and ticket prices.
Look at a return alongside two singles, and compare split train tickets with a through fare. A split uses separate tickets for successive parts of your trip; it can reduce the price without adding a change of train. Savings depend on the journey and available fares.
Compare like for like: departure time, class, operator, route, journey duration and flexibility. A cheaper train-specific Advance fare may suit a fixed plan; an Off-Peak or Anytime fare may suit a less certain finish. Our ticket comparison guide explains the differences.
Check the total payable for the selected itinerary, including any booking or share-of-saving charge shown before payment. Confirm every connection, any cross-London transfer, ticket delivery method and the change and refund conditions. Seat reservations depend on the service and availability.
Booking early can give you more Advance fares to compare, but release dates and availability vary by train company. Online purchase alone does not guarantee a lower fare. Try nearby departure times and check the current Advance booking dates if your journey is not yet on sale.
Once you have chosen, follow the booking instructions and keep every ticket, reservation and required Railcard accessible. Before setting off, check train times and travel disruption; a saved itinerary is not a live service update.
