Get 1/3 off with a Railcard
Various Railcards are available for different groups and can save you up to 1/3 on fares from Reading to Bournemouth. You can choose the 16–25 Railcard or Senior Railcard based on your age. Additionally, the Family & Friends Railcard or Two Together Railcard are good options for group travel.
Split Tickets to save an average extra 30%
Splitting your tickets involves purchasing separate tickets for different segments of your journey instead of a single ticket for the entire trip. This method is legal and can often result in cheaper fares. For example, if you are travelling from A to B, you might discover that buying a ticket from A to C, and then another ticket from C to B, is more economical than purchasing a direct ticket.
