How to book cheap train tickets from Reading to Bath

Travelling in off-peak train times

We recommend buying train tickets from Reading to Bath during off-peak hours. These times are usually before 06:30, between 09:30 and 16:00, and after 19:00 on weekdays, as well as all day on weekends and bank holidays. Choosing Off-Peak train tickets means benefiting from cheaper fares and less crowded trains, making your journey more enjoyable.

Using the Railcard for 1/3 off

With a Railcard, you can save up to 1/3 on most rail fares. There are different types of Railcards available, such as the 16–25 Railcard, the Family & Friends Railcard, and the Senior Railcard, each catering to specific groups of travellers. You can discover more about Railcards here.

Split Tickets for greater savings

Another option to consider is splitting your tickets to save more on fares. Instead of purchasing a direct ticket from Reading to Bath, you can split the route into two legs: A to C and C to B. This is often cheaper than purchasing a direct ticket, and you usually won’t need to change trains or seats.

Book in advance to save an average of 61%

Did you know that purchasing Advance Tickets can significantly reduce your travel expenses? On average, these tickets can save you an impressive 61% on fares. The best part is that the earlier you book (ideally up to 12 weeks in advance), the greater the savings!

Group travels to save 1/3

If you are travelling in a group of three to nine people, take advantage of group travel discounts, offered by most train companies, for a discount of up to 1/3 on standard fares. This can make travelling from Reading to Bath more affordable for families, friends, or colleagues planning a trip together.
