Types of Avanti West Coast Season Tickets

Avanti West Coast Flexi Season Tickets

The Flexi pass is a popular choice for hybrid workers, as you only need to travel 8 days within a 28-day period to save. This works out to be 2 days per week, and you'll save about 20% compared to buying individual fares. It's also a great option for football fans who take the train to see their team play regularly.

Avanti West Coast weekly Season Tickets

A weekly Season Ticket gives you 7 days of unlimited travel between your chosen Avanti West Coast stations, starting from any day you choose. If you're making the journey 3 times or more in a week, this beats buying separate tickets.

Avanti West Coast monthly Season Tickets

You'll get a full calendar month of unlimited journeys between your two stations with Avanti West Coast's monthly Season Ticket. It works out cheaper than buying 4 weekly tickets, and you'll see savings if you travel 3 or more times per week. This is a good alternative if you want to avoid the big up-front expense of an annual ticket.

Avanti West Coast annual Season Tickets

The biggest savings come with the annual option - you get the equivalent of 12 weeks free train travel compared to buying weekly tickets. It's perfect if you know you'll be doing the same commute for a year as one purchase sorts your travel for the next 12 months. Best of all, you usually get a refund if routine changes.

Which Avanti West Coast Season Ticket is best for me?

With so much choice - and lots of sums to do - it can be tricky wrapping your head around which ticket saves you the most. Luckily, there's an easy-to-use Season Ticket Calculator on the National Rail website that does the maths for you - just tell it how often you travel and it'll show you exactly which option works out best for you.
