Travel tips for everyone

Here are some helpful little tips to make your journey the best it can be.

  1. If you're planning a longer journey it's well worth booking your ticket at least a day in advance - it might save you even more money.

  2. Want to make sure the whole family can sit together? Then why not reserve a seat? Some Train Companies have carriages and rooms especially for you.

  3. Crowded stations, nowhere to sit, who wants to travel in rush hour? Make your journey more enjoyable and save money when you travel off-peak.

  4. Heading for the Capital? Your Railcard discount also applies to tickets which include the London Off-Peak Day Travelcard (All Zones only). That way you can travel around on tubes and buses too.

  5. Land ahoy! Take the kids on an adventure across the sea with discounts on through rail/sea journeys with Wightlink, Red Funnel Ferries, Irish Ferries and Stena Line.

  6. Discounts on through rail/bus journeys are also available with PLUSBUS. Visit website www.plusbus.info or your local staffed station for further details.

  7. Keep the kids occupied on your next train journey with a wide range of downloadable activity sheets, quizzes, fun facts, puzzles and games from the Trakkies website - for kids who love trains. Don't forget to take some pencils or crayons!
