How to book cheap train tickets from Reading to Richmond

Travelling in off-peak train times

Using the Railcard for 1/3 off

Instead of purchasing a direct ticket from Reading to Richmond, you can split the route into two legs: A to C and C to B. This often turns out to be more affordable than buying a direct ticket, and you won’t even need to leave the train… or often your seat!.
