Buy tickets with Chiltern Railways

You can choose to receive your tickets in a number of ways – collect at the station, on your phone, via email or post. 

Tips for buying the cheapest train tickets

  • Always book as far ahead as you can – Advance tickets are usually the cheapest.
     
  • Be flexible – the cheapest tickets are off-peak so avoid the morning and evening rush hour if you can, all weekend and bank holiday tickets are off-peak.
     
  • 2 singles can often be cheaper than a return.
     
  • If you are 16-17, you can purchase a Saver Card that can save you 50% on fares.
     
  • Save 1/3 with any of the following Railcards:
    • 16-25 Railcard
    • Two Together Railcard
    • Family and Friends Railcard
    • Senior Railcard
    • Disabled Person’s Railcard
    • Network Railcard
    • HM Forces Railcard
    • Annual Gold card
       
  • Get a Group travel deal if there are 3 or more of you travelling 
     
  • See if you can save with a Season ticket – if you take the same journey 3 or 4 times a week, it’s probably the cheapest way to travel.
