Train fares are being simplified to make them less
confusing to passengers. The new names bring together
commonly used Single and Return fares into three
categories, making it easier for you to buy the best
value ticket for your journey.
Advance
Buy in advance, subject to availability.
These are Single (one-way) fares offering great value
for money on many longer distance journeys. You must
book in advance and travel on a specific train service.
Off-Peak
Buy any time, travel off-peak.
These are cheaper fares for travelling when it’s less
busy, so they have restrictions on when you can travel.
Where there is more than one Off-Peak fare for a
journey, the cheaper fare with more restrictions will be
named Super Off-Peak.
Anytime
Buy any time, travel any time.
These are the most flexible fares as there are no time
restrictions on when you can travel. Perfect for people
who need complete flexibility.
Other tickets, such as Season tickets and Rover tickets,
will not be affected by the changes.
