How to book cheap train tickets from Axminster to Reading

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.

Split Tickets discount
It might seem unusual, but buying several cheaper tickets for different sections of your journey can result in substantial savings - and you won't need to move seats at all. Even better, Trip.com automatically finds and arranges these split tickets for you, so there's no complicated planning required.

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.

Group travel deals
Travelling with a group of 3 to 9 people? Most train companies offer group discounts, allowing you to save up to 1/3 on standard fares. This makes journeys from Axminster to Reading more budget-friendly for families, friends, or colleagues travelling together.
Which train ticket types are available for this route?

Advance train tickets
Available up to 12 weeks before the journey, these are generally the most cost-effective option for cost-conscious travellers

Return train tickets
Allows travel for both the outbound and return legs of your journey on the same route

First Class tickets
First Class tickets give you a more comfortable ride, with larger seats, extra legroom, and access to premium amenities such as refreshments or quieter carriages on many routes

Flexi Season tickets
Flexi Season tickets suit travellers who commute a few days a week, offering 8 days of unlimited travel in a 28-day period—which often works out cheaper than buying tickets on an individual daily basis
