Should I get a daily ticket or a Season Ticket?
Due to the Off-Peak fares all day long trial, we've designed a Season Ticket Calculator to allow customers who travel by train regularly on the same route to compare the cost of a daily return ticket to the cost of a Season Ticket. This will help you find the best-value rail ticket to suit your needs.
By telling us the number of days you plan to travel per week, and the length of ticket you want to commit to, we can calculate the best value tickets for your journey from the following:
- Anytime Day Return
- Weekly Season
- Monthly Season
- Annual Season
Where there are no Anytime Day Return fares available, the Calculator will only return the Season Tickets for that journey.
