How to book cheap train tickets from Bristol Temple Meads to Swansea

Travelling in off-peak train times

We recommend buying train tickets from Bristol Temple Meads to Swansea during off-peak hours.

Choosing Off-Peak train tickets means benefiting from cheaper fares and less crowded trains, making your journey more enjoyable.

Using the Railcard for 1/3 off

You can choose a Railcard to help you save up to 1/3 on fares from Bristol Temple Meads to Swansea for various reasons, such as your age (including the 16-25 Railcard or Senior Railcard) or options geared towards group travel (Family & Friends Railcard and Two Together Railcard).
