How to book cheap train tickets from Reading to Basingstoke
Book in advance
Booking Advance tickets at least 1 week before departure can reduce your fare by up to 61% on routes from Reading to Basingstoke. Advance fares are usually released 12 weeks prior to travel and exclude Anytime fares, with savings depending on route availability.
Season tickets for frequent travellers
If you make the journey between Reading and Basingstoke 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.
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.
Using a Railcard for 1/3 off
A wide selection of Railcards is available, many providing 1/3 off most train tickets — from the 16-25 and 26-30 Railcards to Family & Friends, Two Together, Network and Senior options. With the 16-17 Saver, you can even get 50% off. Purchasing and storing your Railcard in the Trip.com app is quick and simple, ensuring instant access to generous discounts whenever you travel.
