How to book cheap train tickets from London Waterloo to Plumstead

Season Tickets for frequent travels

Are you frequently traveling between London Waterloo and Plumstead on a weekly, monthly, or annual basis? Season Tickets provide unlimited travel during specific times, allowing you to freely hop on and off trains between two stations without worrying about individual ticket bookings, and offering significant savings in the process.

Network Railcard for Southeast England

For only a small annual fee, you can save 1/3 on most fares in Southeast England, including routes in and out of London, with the Network Railcard. Covering both standard and off-peak tickets, this railcard is particularly beneficial for those who travel regularly within this region.

Travelling in off-peak train times

Off-Peak train tickets are generally cheaper than peak-time tickets, allowing travel outside morning (06:30-09:30) and evening (16:00-19:00) rush hours on weekdays. If your schedule allows for flexibility, choosing off-peak times for your trip from London Waterloo to Plumstead can result in significant cost savings.

Using the Railcard for 1/3 off

There are various types of Railcards catering to different types of travellers, such as the 16–25 Railcard, the Family & Friends Railcard, and the Senior Railcard.

Split Tickets to save an average extra 30%

Splitting tickets involves buying separate, cheaper tickets for different parts of your journey on the same train instead of just one ticket for the entire trip. For instance, if you're travelling from London Waterloo to Plumstead, you might find that purchasing a ticket from A to C, then C to B costs less than a direct ticket. This method is perfectly legal and often doesn’t require leaving your seat.
