How to book cheap train tickets from Reading to Poole

Season tickets for frequent travelers
If you make the journey between Reading and Poole on a weekly, monthly, or yearly basis, a season ticket is well worth considering. It gives you unlimited travel between the two stations at set times for 1 fixed cost, helping you save money while avoiding the hassle of buying separate tickets each time.

Travel during Off-Peak train times
To enjoy a calmer and often cheaper journey, we recommend choosing Off-Peak services and steering clear of the busy rush-hour periods. While timings differ slightly by operator, it's usually best to avoid traveling between 06:30 AM–09:30 AM and 4:00 PM–7:00 PM on weekdays. On weekends and bank holidays, Off-Peak fares apply all day.

Using a Railcard for 1/3 off
A wide selection of Railcards is available, many providing 1/3 off most train tickets — from the 16-25 and 26-30 Railcards to Family & Friends, Two Together, Network and Senior options. With the 16-17 Saver, you can even get 50% off. Purchasing and storing your Railcard in the Trip.com app is quick and simple, ensuring instant access to generous discounts whenever you travel.

Split Tickets discount
It may sound odd, but splitting your journey into smaller segments by purchasing separate, cheaper tickets can often lead to significant savings, all while you remain in the same seat for the entire trip. The best part? Trip.com handles these splits for you, meaning you don't have to do any painstaking planning.
