Anytime Tickets for flexible travel

Our Anytime Tickets give you the freedom to travel on any train, at any time.

Buy your Anytime Ticket in advance at home via our Southeastern app, online or from a station ticket office or ticket vending machine.

If you're not sure when you want to come back our Anytime Open Return Ticket is perfect, leave for your destination within 5 days of the date on your ticket and return anytime within one calendar month.*

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 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.

Please note this does not offer a full comparison of all the fares available for your journey. If you travel at off-peak times, use our online journey planner.
