Travel Off-Peak and save
Our Off-Peak train tickets offer great savings on journeys outside of the busiest travel times, every day of the week.
On weekends and Bank Holidays, you can travel at any time with an off-peak ticket. On weekdays, there are no evening peak restrictions on Southeastern operated services when travelling with an off-peak ticket, however, some time restrictions apply to journeys in the morning.
- If you are travelling from Kent & East Sussex into London, Off-Peak tickets are valid on trains that arrive into London after 10am*.
- If you are travelling from London to Kent & East Sussex, Off-Peak tickets are valid on trains departing from London after 9.30am.
- If you are travelling entirely within the London Travelcard Zones 1-6 area, Off-Peak tickets are valid on trains departing after 9.30am.
- From 3 December 2023, for journeys from and between Bat & Ball, Dunton Green, Eynsford, Otford, Sevenoaks and Shoreham (Kent), new peak and off-peak restrictions apply, including a new evening peak restriction for travel away from London. These changes have been made in preparation for the rollout of pay as you go with contactless at 53 National Rail stations in spring 2024. For more information about these changes, please visit the National Rail website, where more detail is provided.
*Exceptions apply to a few services arriving prior to 10.00am dependent on the type of Off-Peak ticket please check our journey planner before you travel.
