How to book cheap train tickets from Folkestone Central to Waterloo

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.

Season tickets for frequent travellers
If you make the journey between Folkestone Central and Waterloo 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.

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.

Travel during Off-Peak train times
To enjoy a calmer and often cheaper journey, we recommend choosing Off-Peak services and steering clear of the busy rush-hour periods. While timings differ slightly by operator, it's usually best to avoid travelling between 06:30 AM–09:30 AM and 4:00 PM–7:00 PM on weekdays. On weekends and bank holidays, Off-Peak fares apply all day.
