Discounts for Group Travel ​​​​​​​Groups of at least 3 people can get discounts on train tickets

Question: What could be more fun than travelling by train? Answer: Travelling by train with lots of your friends and family! Plus, there’s a good chance you’ll be able to get a group discount.  ​​​​​

In addition to our Railcards for individual, couple or family travel, most train companies offer discounts for groups of 3 or more people travelling together. Larger groups of 10 or more people may even get additional discounts when booking tickets directly. Contact your train company for more information. ​​​​​​​
