How to book cheap train tickets from Heathrow Terminal 5 to Canterbury

Using the Railcard for 1/3 off

You can choose a Railcard to help you save up to 1/3 on fares from Heathrow Terminal 5 to Canterbury 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).
