Apex, SuperAdvance and Value tickets
If you can plan your journey in advance, these tickers offer the best value on the routes where they are available.
For even better value, you can get further discounts on SuperAdvance tickets for children, Railcard discounts also apply (except Network Railcard).
Tickets are for travel on specified trains only and there are more tickets available on our less busy services. All tickets are subject to availability which means the earlier you book, the greater chance you have of getting the dates and times you would like.
