Which ticket is right for me?

As a general rule, the earlier you can buy a ticket, the better the deal you can get. If you know the date and time you wish to travel, then an Advance ticket will be suitable. For more flexibility, Off-Peak and Super Off-Peak tickets and Anytime tickets will be a better choice, as you are not limited to a specific date or train. Find out more below.

Advance tickets

These must be bought in advance and are only valid on the date and train specified. They are sold in limited numbers, subject to availability and on a first come, first served basis. You can usually buy an Advance ticket up to 12 weeks ahead of travel, and they are still available until the day of travel on many routes - sometimes up to 10 minutes before departure. Find out more about Advance tickets.

Off-Peak and Super Off-Peak tickets

These can be bought at any time and allow you to travel on any permitted train during off-peak hours. If an Off-Peak or Super Off-Peak ticket is available for your journey, journey planners will make them available to purchase. In general, Off-Peak hours begin at 09:30 from Monday to Friday in cities and large towns, and at 09:00 everywhere else. If your train is scheduled to depart after this time, you can travel with an Off-Peak ticket. Weekends and bank holidays are Off-Peak all day. Find out more about Off-Peak and Super Off-Peak tickets.

Anytime tickets

These can be bought at any time and allow you to travel on any permitted train, at any time. Find out more about Anytime tickets.

Season tickets and Flexi Season tickets

These offer unlimited travel between 2 stations, and are normally available to buy weekly, monthly or yearly. Find out more about Season tickets and Flexi Season tickets.

Ranger and Rover tickets

These offer unlimited travel in a specified area. Rangers are valid for 1 day, Rovers are usually valid for 3, 7 or 8 days in a certain period. There may be time restrictions on when you can travel. Find out more about Ranger and Rover tickets.

Oyster and contactless pay as you go

These are smartcard and contactless methods of payment which let you travel within London. Oyster is a re-usable smartcard which is issued by, or on behalf of, Transport for London (TfL). You can also use a contactless debit or credit card to pay as you go at the same rates as Oyster. Find out more about Oyster and contactless pay as you go.

National Rail Guide to Tickets

You can view and download the National Rail Guide to Tickets leaflet (PDF, 8.2MB), which provides an overview of the tickets available across the National Rail network and is designed to help you choose the best value ticket for your journey with confidence. It also includes a summary of train companies' commitments to customers.

Routeing information and ticket validity

Your ticket may show a route or train company that you must use for your journey. If not, you are allowed to use any permitted route for the journey you are making. Permitted routes cover all reasonable routes available for making your journey, including direct services and suitable connecting services.

When you book your journey online, any ticket offeredat that time in connection with the journey planner results will be accepted as a permitted route. As the full range of routes and options can be very complex (especially for longer journeys), we would encourage you to check any intended route using our Journey Planner to make sure that it can be used with your ticket.

To search for the full range of Tickets and Restriction Codes, you can also use our Ticket Validity Finder tool, or the Rail Delivery Group's full Routeing Guide, which includes a list of maps of permitted routes.

Finding ticket prices

Our Journey Planner will show the tickets currently available on each service displayed. Please remember that Advance tickets are sold in limited numbers and subject to availability. If you have searched for a return journey the cheapest price for both a return and 2 singles (1 out, 1 back) will be displayed.

The Journey Planner will not show Season ticket or Ranger and Rover ticket prices. You can find information about Season tickets, Flexi Season tickets and Ranger and Rover tickets on our dedicated pages.

If you wish to see all ticket types and not just the cheapest, there is an option to click on more fares.

A small number of other fares are not shown by our Journey Planner.
