Commute on your schedule, skip the Monday rush, head in on Tuesday, work from home on Wednesday… the choice is yours.
Why choose a Flexi-Season Ticket?
- 8 peak-day journeys in 28 days - Use them whenever you need between your two chosen stations, no need to decide up front
- Only pay for the days you travel - Cheaper than buying eight separate Anytime Day Returns and kinder to your wallet than a full Season Ticket if you only commute two or three days a week
- Same freedom as a Season Ticket - Travel at peak times Monday to Friday with no extra fees or restrictions
- Go queue-free - Load the ticket straight onto a free Smartcard and tap in at the gate
- Manage everything in the Chiltern Railways app - Check how many journeys you have left, top-up in seconds and never misplace a paper ticket again
Get started in 3 quick steps
Step 1
Log in to your account on the Chiltern website. Choose your Flexi Season ticket and purchase. Enter your Smartcard details and your ticket will be added to your Smartcard.
If you haven’t got a Smartcard, find out how to order one here.
Step 2
Before you can use your Flexi Season ticket, you will need to activate each ticket individually. To do this, open the Chiltern Railways App on your mobile phone and tap your Smartcard to your NFC* enabled phone.
Each time you travel you will need to repeat this step to activate your day pass for that day.
Step 3
At your departure station, tap your Smartcard on the gateline and breeze through.
*NFC stands for Near Field Communication. It is a short-range wireless technology that allows the exchange of data between devices. Please note that if you are using an iPhone device you need a 7 model or higher.
