Book cheap train tickets from Bristol to Cardiff

If you know where to look and how to take advantage of available discounts and travel options, then saving money with Trip.com becomes second nature. Here are some of our top tips to help you save money on your train travel.

Book in advance to save an average of 61%

One of the most effective ways to get cheap train tickets is to book in advance. Advance Tickets are usually released up to 12 weeks before the travel date and can be significantly cheaper than purchasing tickets closer to the departure date. By planning your trip from Bristol to Cardiff ahead of time and securing your tickets early, you can save up to 61% on the cost of your travel.

Split Tickets to save an average extra 30%

Splitting your tickets involves buying separate tickets for different parts of your journey instead of one ticket for the entire trip. This method can often be cheaper and is perfectly legal. For instance, if you're traveling from A to B, you might find that purchasing a ticket from A to C, then C to B costs less than a direct ticket.

Travel in a group to save 1/3

If you are traveling in a group of three to nine people, you can benefit from group travel discounts. Many train companies offer GroupSave options, which provide a discount of up to 1/3 on standard fares.
