• Plan a journey by train

  There are numerous online information websites for train travel – many offer discounted ticket sales too. The two most popular journey planning tools for train travel are The TrainLine or National Rail Enquiries
  
  On the latter you can find out more on station facilities, operators and even download your own personalised timetable.

• Paying for a journey by train

  Whilst you can simply turn up at the train station and purchase a ticket for a single journey, if your trip is a regular commute a period ticket will be much better value. National Rail offer a season ticket calculator so you can work out how much your regular commute will be – and more importantly how much you’ll save compared to buying a ticket each day!

  If you are making a one off journey to London by train you can make savings by booking in advance - either by calling into any train station, via The TrainLine.
  
  You can now also pay for journeys on suburban train services which both start and finish within zones 1- 9 using your Oyster. For further details please click here, where you can also register an Oyster online account. An online account allows you to receive weekly or monthly email statements and see your journey history for the last 8 weeks along with what you have paid.
