How to book cheap train tickets from Reading to London Paddington
Travel during Off-Peak train times
We'd strongly suggest avoiding rush hour crowds by traveling on Off-Peak services, often leading to a cheaper and more peaceful journey. Exact timings vary between providers, but in general, skip traveling between 06:30 AM–09:30 AM and 4:00 PM–7:00 PM on weekdays. Off-Peak rates are available all day on weekends and bank holidays.
Season tickets for frequent travelers
If you travel between Reading and London Paddington on a weekly, monthly, or annual basis, we'd highly recommend a season ticket, which provides unlimited travel between the 2 stations (during specific times) for a set price. Not only will you receive significant savings, but you'll also remove the stress of purchasing individual tickets.
Book in advance
Advance tickets, usually released up to 12 weeks before travel, can save you up to 61% on journeys from Reading to London Paddington when booked at least 1 week in advance. Savings exclude Anytime fares, and are subject to route availability.
