How to book cheap train tickets from Barking to Reading
Group travel deals
Travelling with a group of 3 to 9 people? Most train companies offer group discounts, allowing you to save up to 1/3 on standard fares. This makes journeys from Barking to Reading more budget-friendly for families, friends, or colleagues travelling together.
Using a Railcard for 1/3 off
A wide selection of Railcards is available, many providing 1/3 off most train tickets — from the 16-25 and 26-30 Railcards to Family & Friends, Two Together, Network and Senior options. With the 16-17 Saver, you can even get 50% off. Purchasing and storing your Railcard in the Trip.com app is quick and simple, ensuring instant access to generous discounts whenever you travel.
Travel during Off-Peak train times
We'd strongly suggest avoiding rush hour crowds by travelling on Off-Peak services, often leading to a cheaper and more peaceful journey. Exact timings vary between providers, but in general, skip travelling between 06:30 AM–09:30 AM and 4:00 PM–7:00 PM on weekdays. Off-Peak rates are available all day on weekends and bank holidays.
Split Tickets discount
It might seem unusual, but buying several cheaper tickets for different sections of your journey can result in substantial savings - and you won't need to move seats at all. Even better, Trip.com automatically finds and arranges these split tickets for you, so there's no complicated planning required.
Which train ticket types are available for this route?
Advance train tickets
Available up to 12 weeks before the journey, these are generally the most cost-effective option for cost-conscious travellers
Anytime tickets
With no time restrictions, Anytime tickets allow travel throughout the entire day. They're a great option if you require maximum flexibility or aren't sure exactly when you'll be travelling.
First Class tickets
