How to book cheap train tickets from Mountain Ash to Merthyr Tydfil

Season tickets for frequent travellers
If you travel between Mountain Ash 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
We'd strongly suggest avoiding rush hour crowds by travelling on Off-Peak services, often leading to a cheaper and more peaceful journey. Exact timings vary between providers, but in general, skip travelling between 06:30 AM–09:30 AM and 4:00 PM–7:00 PM on weekdays. Off-Peak rates are available all day on weekends and bank holidays.

Using a Railcard for 1/3 off
A wide selection of Railcards is available, many providing 1/3 off most train tickets — from the 16-25 and 26-30 Railcards to Family & Friends, Two Together, Network and Senior options. With the 16-17 Saver, you can even get 50% off. Purchasing and storing your Railcard in the Trip.com app is quick and simple, ensuring instant access to generous discounts whenever you travel.

Split Tickets discount
While it may sound surprising, splitting your route into smaller segments and purchasing separate low-cost tickets can greatly reduce the overall fare, all without changing seats. The best part is that Trip.com does all the splitting and organising for you, removing any need for time-consuming research on your end.
