Book your Season Ticket in advance on a smartcard

Tips on the best way to get a Season Ticket. 

  1. If you commute regularly, buy an Annual Season Ticket and get 12 weeks of free travel. Your Season Ticket is valid for a full calendar year, but you only pay for around 10 months and 12 days (meaning a lower average daily cost than non-Annual Season Ticket holders).
  2. Chose to get your Season Ticket on a smartcard and never worry about losing it as your ticket will be stored in your account.
  3. Many Train Operators give you the option of getting your Season Ticket in advance online or at a staffed ticket office. Please see below for your operators times:
