Anyone know a better way to book the train to Reading, its coming out at £180 for 3 adults and 1 child.
Thanks great shout, got it down to £136 for the 4 of us.3swan said:Not used it myself, but I have read others using train ticket splitting.
Breaking the journey down into smaller journeys, sometime not even changing trains.
Just Google train ticket splitting.
Might not be a saving but worth a try,

By doing this i save £50 on my journey------ without the split save the cost of the journey would be about £99,massive difference.
I do the same for away games and you always get a saving of some sort.The only downside is you can get a pocket full of train tickets.

I remember I did Doncaster away one year for £15, something like Cardiff to Stockport and then Stockport onwards.

Going back to the OP, check out the Family and Friends railcard, it will cost you £30 but up to 4 adults and 4 kids can travel together and you’ll get 1/3 off adult tickets and 60% off kids tickets. You’ll need 1 kid to travel with the adults to be able to use the card.
