How to book cheap train tickets from London to Reading

Season Tickets for frequent travel

Are you frequently traveling between London and Reading on a weekly, monthly, or annual basis? Season Tickets provide unlimited travel during specific times, allowing you to freely hop on and off trains between two stations without worrying about individual ticket bookings, and offering significant savings in the process.

Network Railcard for South East England

To save on train travel in South East England, consider getting a Network Railcard. For a £30 annual fee, this railcard offers 1/3 off most fares, including routes to and from London. Whether for standard or off-peak tickets, it's highly advantageous for frequent travelers within this region.

Traveling in off-peak train times

We recommend buying train tickets from London to Reading during off-peak hours. These times are usually before 06:30, between 09:30 and 16:00, and after 19:00 on weekdays, as well as all day on weekends and bank holidays. Choosing Off-Peak train tickets means benefiting from cheaper fares and less crowded trains, making your journey more enjoyable.

Get 1/3 off with a Railcard

You can choose a Railcard to help you save up to 1/3 on fares from London to Reading 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 London to Reading, 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.

Book in advance to save an average of 61%

Advance Tickets are usually released up to 12 weeks before the travel date and can be significantly cheaper than tickets purchased closer to departure. By planning your trip from London to Reading ahead of time and securing your tickets early, you can save up to 61% on the cost of your travel.

Travel in a group to save 1/3

If you are planning a trip with a group of three to nine people, take advantage of ⅓ off standard fares with group travel discounts, offered by many train companies, perfect for journeys with your family, friends, or colleagues.
