Book in advance to save an average of 61%

Booking in advance is one of the most effective ways to get cheap train tickets.

By planning your trip from Reading to Oxford ahead of time and booking your tickets early, you can potentially save up to 61% on your travel expenses.

Split Tickets to save an average extra 30%

Splitting your tickets involves purchasing separate tickets for different segments of your journey instead of a single ticket for the entire trip. This method is legal and can often result in cheaper fares. For example, if you are travelling from A to B, you might discover that buying a ticket from A to C, and then another ticket from C to B, is more economical than purchasing a direct ticket.

Travelling during off-peak hours

Off-Peak train tickets are generally cheaper than peak-time tickets and can be used on services that are less busy, typically outside the morning and evening rush hours. If your schedule allows flexibility, choosing off-peak times for your trip from Reading to Oxford can result in significant cost savings. In most cities and large towns, off-peak time usually starts at 09:30 from Monday to Friday. In other areas, off-peak time typically begins at 09:00.
