How to book cheap train tickets from Hereford to Merthyr Tydfil
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 Hereford to Merthyr Tydfil more budget-friendly for families, friends, or colleagues travelling together.
Season tickets for frequent travellers
If you travel between Hereford and Merthyr Tydfil on a weekly, monthly, or annual basis, we'd highly recommend a season ticket, which provides unlimited travel between the 2 stations (during specific times) for a set price. Not only will you receive significant savings, but you'll also remove the stress of purchasing individual tickets.
Travel during Off-Peak train times
To enjoy a calmer and often cheaper journey, we recommend choosing Off-Peak services and steering clear of the busy rush-hour periods. While timings differ slightly by operator, it's usually best to avoid travelling between 06:30 AM–09:30 AM and 4:00 PM–7:00 PM on weekdays. On weekends and bank holidays, Off-Peak fares apply all day.

They’re easy to purchase and store digitally in your Trip.com app, meaning you're only ever a tap away from great savings.
