How to book cheap train tickets from Reading to Waterloo

Group travel deals

If you are travelling in a group of 3 to 9 people, you can take advantage of group discounts (offered by most train companies) for up to 1/3 off standard fares. This can make travelling from Reading to Waterloo more affordable for families, friends, or colleagues planning a trip together.

Season tickets for frequent travellers

If you travel between Reading and Waterloo 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

Save money on your journeys by choosing from a variety of Railcards, most of which give you 1/3 off standard fares. Options include the 16-25, 26-30, Family & Friends, Two Together, Network and Senior Railcards, plus the 16-17 Saver which offers 50% off. You can buy and store them digitally in your Trip.com app, so big savings are always just a tap away.
