Not only will you receive significant savings, but you'll also remove the stress of purchasing individual tickets.

Book in advance
Booking Advance tickets at least 1 week before departure can reduce your fare by up to 61% on routes from Reading to Hackney Central. Advance fares are usually released 12 weeks prior to travel and exclude Anytime fares, with savings depending on route availability.

Travel during Off-Peak train times
