Or that you can renew your Season Ticket online and have it delivered to your home? It saves queuing! And that we are busy installing the largest fleet of self-service ticket machines of any UK train operating company?

John Saunders, Retired

John is planning a trip to see his old army colleagues in Warminster next month and wants to get the best-value fare.
 
Our online booking service, in partnership with The Trainline, offers fast and easy access to journey planning, best-value fares, reservations and tickets. And most ticket types can be purchased online, including our new Advance fares. With these tickets now available as singles only, John will have more options for mixing and matching journey times to find the best fare to Warminster. He should book as early as he can to bag the bargains, which are subject to availability. Bargain-hunters like John should also check out megatrain (megatrain.com). These are off-peak tickets on certain popular routes, including London Waterloo to (and from) Salisbury, starting at just £1!
