An annual season ticket will usually offer the best value for money if you are travelling more than three days per week. Tickets bought for short periods or on a daily basis will cost more, particularly if your journey is during ‘peak’ transport hours in the morning. Peak transport hours vary between operators and on routes so please consult the train operator’s websites using the links on the right hand side of this page.
