How to book cheap train tickets from Reading to Looe
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 Reading to Looe can result in significant cost savings.
Using the Railcard for 1/3 off
With a Railcard, you can save up to 1/3 on most rail fares. There are different types of Railcards available, such as the 16–25 Railcard, the Family & Friends Railcard, and the Senior Railcard, each catering to specific groups of travellers. You can discover more about Railcards here.
Split Tickets for greater savings

This is often cheaper than purchasing a direct ticket, and you usually won’t need to change trains or seats.
