How to book cheap train tickets from Crawley to Brighton

<a href="/trains/uk/season-ticket/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Season tickets for frequent travellers</a>

Season tickets for frequent travellers

If you make the journey between Crawley and Brighton on a weekly, monthly, or yearly basis, a season ticket is well worth considering. It gives you unlimited travel between the two stations at set times for 1 fixed cost, helping you save money while avoiding the hassle of buying separate tickets each time.
<a href="https://uk.trip.com/trains/guide/uk-train-off-peak-times/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Travel during Off-Peak train times</a>

Travel during Off-Peak train times

For a quieter, better-value trip, try to travel during Off-Peak hours rather than the busiest weekday periods. Although exact times can vary between train companies, the general rule is to avoid the 6:30 AM–09:30 AM and 4:00 PM–7:00 PM windows. At weekends and on bank holidays, Off-Peak pricing typically applies throughout the entire day.

Split Tickets discount

It may sound odd, but splitting your journey into smaller segments by purchasing separate, cheaper tickets can often lead to significant savings, all while you remain in the same seat for the entire trip. The best part? Trip.com handles these splits for you, meaning you don't have to do any painstaking planning.
