Taking advantage of <a data-render='keywords' href="/trains/uk/train-ticket-types/#train-ticket-types-offPeak">Off-Peak train tickets</a> is another effective way to save on your train journey from Southampton to Bournemouth. These tickets are generally cheaper and can be used during quieter periods, typically outside of morning (06:30-09:30) and evening (16:00-19:00) rush hours on weekdays.

Travelling in off-peak train times

You can choose a Railcard to help you save up to 1/3 on fares from Southampton to Bournemouth for various reasons, such as your age (including the <a data-render='keywords' href="/trains/uk/railcard-guide/16-25-railcard/">16-25 Railcard</a> or <a data-render='keywords' href="/trains/uk/railcard-guide/senior-railcard/">Senior Railcard</a>) or options geared towards group travel (<a data-render='keywords' href="/trains/uk/railcard-guide/family-friends-railcard/">Family & Friends Railcard</a> and <a data-render='keywords' href="/trains/uk/railcard-guide/two-together-railcard/">Two Together Railcard</a>). <a  href="/trains/uk/railcard-guide/">Discover more here</a>.
