If you frequently travel between Alton and London, a Season Ticket allows unlimited travel between these stations and is available for various durations, such as weekly, monthly, annually, or flexi. Enjoy the convenience of not having to buy a ticket for each journey, as well as significant savings.

Network Railcard for Southeast England
To save on train travel in Southeast England, consider getting a Network Railcard. For a £30 annual fee, this railcard offers 1/3 off most fares, including routes to and from London. Whether for standard or off-peak tickets, it’s highly advantageous for frequent travellers within this region.

Travelling in off-peak train times
Off-Peak train tickets are generally cheaper than peak-time tickets, allowing travel outside morning (06:30-09:30) and evening (16:00-19:00) rush hours on weekdays.

Using the Railcard for 1/3 off

Split Tickets to save an average extra 30%
Splitting tickets is a perfectly legal practice that involves purchasing separate, cheaper tickets for different segments of your journey on the same train instead of a single ticket for the entire trip. For example, if you are travelling from Alton to London, you might discover that buying a ticket from A to C, and then another ticket from C to B, is more economical than a direct ticket.

Book in advance to save an average of 61%
