How to book cheap train tickets from Southampton to Port Talbot

Travelling in off-peak train times

Off-Peak train tickets are generally cheaper than peak-time tickets, allowing travel outside morning (06:30-09:30) and evening (16:00-19:00) rush hours on weekdays. If your schedule allows for flexibility, choosing off-peak times for your trip from Southampton to Port Talbot can result in significant cost savings.

Using the Railcard for 1/3 off
