If you frequently travel between London Paddington and Leicester, 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

By purchasing a Network Railcard for only £30 per year, unlock incredible savings of up to 1/3 on every ticket for your travels within London and the South East. With this Railcard in hand, you can enjoy reduced costs on various ticket types, including Standard or Super Off-Peak Tickets.

Split Tickets to save an average extra 30%

Book in advance to save an average of 61%
