What is an Advance train ticket?
Advance tickets are single, one-way tickets that can only be used on a specific service, chosen by you. The date, time and route of the service will be stated on the ticket. Advance tickets are cheaper as they are not flexible and you must travel on your chosen service, so if you miss your booked train you will have to purchase a new ticket.
Advance tickets are best booked in advance, prior to travel. You can purchase Advance tickets in both Standard and First class and you can mix and match your outward and return fares to suit your needs. They are available to book on our website and app. We recommend choosing e-ticket as your delivery method, saving you time and beating the station queues. Easily store your e-ticket in the free Hull Trains app.
When do Advance train tickets become available?
Advance tickets are released up to 26 weeks before the date of travel. Generally, the earlier you book the better the price of the ticket. If you want to be ahead of the game, we have a handy tool to help you find out exactly when Advance tickets become available for a future date. Simply sign up to a Cheap Ticket Alert to be notified when Advance tickets have been released for your chosen service. Travel smart and save more.
Why should I book a train ticket in advance?
Booking in advance gives you the best savings and it is a cost-effective way of travelling by rail. Advance tickets are normally the cheapest fares but these can be limited in number and subject to availability so it pays to book ahead. Plan your journey in advance and save money. Better yet, you can save even more if you apply your railcard when booking.
We know plans can change so if you need to change the date or time of your booked journey, you can do so. You'll just need to pay the difference in fare and a £10 admin fee. You can amend the date, time and class of your ticket before travel. Find out more here.
