WHICH TICKET IS RIGHT FOR ME?

We know choosing which train ticket can be confusing but this handy guide will help. If you want the lowest possible price and know when you want to travel, choose an Advance ticket. You can book an advance ticket up to 26 weeks of when you want to travel. If you want more flexibility look at Anytime or Off Peak tickets.
