How to book cheap train tickets from Guildford to Reading

Traveling in off-peak train times

Off-Peak train tickets are generally cheaper than peak-time tickets, allowing travel outside morning (6:30 AM–9:30 AM) and evening (4:00 PM–7:00 PM) rush hours on weekdays. If your schedule allows for flexibility, choosing off-peak times for your trip from Guildford to Reading can result in significant cost savings.

Get 1/3 off with a Railcard

Split Tickets for greater savings

Another option to consider is splitting your tickets to save more on fares. Instead of purchasing a direct ticket from Guildford to Reading, you can split the route into two legs: A to C and C to B.
