How to book cheap train tickets from Basingstoke to Waterloo

Traveling in off-peak train times

Split Tickets for greater savings

Splitting tickets is a perfectly legal practice that involves purchasing separate, cheaper tickets for different segments of your journey on the same train instead of a single ticket for the entire trip.

Book in advance to save an average of 61%
