Helping you get the best value for your journey
If you are planning to travel regularly on weekdays during peak times, our new Season Ticket Calculator will help you find the best value ticket for your journey. Simply enter your journey details and it will search for the best value ticket.
Tickets you can buy include Weekly, Monthly, Custom and Annual Season tickets, plus Anytime Day Returns. Our new Flexi Season tickets will be available to buy from 21 June for travel from 28 June.
Our Season Ticket Calculator is only able to sell one ticket at a time so you may need to buy multiple tickets to get the best value for money. If you’re logged in to your Southeastern account you can favourite your ticket, allowing you to quickly buy it again.
