Advance tickets could save you money

Whether you're planning a fun, family day out or heading into town for a meeting, Advance tickets are a great way to save – these fares could be cheaper than if you were to buy tickets for the same journey on the day your are travelling. So, with a little bit of advance planning and by choosing a specific time to travel, you could save money.

Numbers of Advance tickets are limited and the earlier you buy, the cheaper your fare could be. As long as they don't sell out first, you can buy an Advance Ticket right up to 23.59* the day before you travel.

Plus, you could save even more and get another 1/3 off the Advance Ticket price with selected railcards.^

Advance tickets are only available as single tickets at specific times and on selected routes, but you can mix and match Advance tickets and times to suit you. Don't forget if you're making a return journey, you will need to buy a ticket for each direction.

Buy your Advance Ticket at home via our Southeastern app, through our website or from a station ticket office.
