TIPS ON WHICH RAIL TICKET TO PURCHASE UK (point to point) rail fares can be divided into 2 main types, quota or walk on fares: Quota fares are the cheaper fares that are available up to 12 weeks in advance of travel. There are a limited number of each type of these and, as they sell on a particular train, the seats become more expensive. In many cases particularly on intercity trains your ticket includes a reserved seat. Walk on fares are more expensive but are always available. These are the fares you buy when you turn up at a station on the day. The cheapest train tickets for England, Scotland and Wales along with times and prices are normally posted on the website TWO MONTHS in advance.

There are usually three choices of discount ticket prices to select from on the website. If suitable select the ones marked with the letters ADV against them.The "turn-up-at-the-station-and-purchase-a-ticket" is usually the dearest ticket to purchase. A one way-ticket is shown as a 'Standard Open Single' and a return from the same station as the outward station is shown as a 'Standard Open Return'. If returning from a different rail station, you would need to purchase two different 'Single' tickets. Sometimes these are the only tickets available, because the discount tickets have all been allocated. There is generally a choice of First and Second (or Coach) Class tickets. Discounted rail tickets: Each rail company has a different name and usually a wide choice of cheaper tickets depending on: how far in advance you purchase the train ticket, conditions of travel and refund options. Go for the very cheapest ticket shown (usually Advance single Tickets - which have ADV written next to them) as available which you are happy with the ticket and travel requirements. Cheap One Way and Return Advance Tickets. Reservations: Where possible always select for a reserved seat; there is no extra cost. If you can not purchase a reserved seat, you will still be able to travel on the selected train, but you will have to look for a seat which is not allocated to somebody. A seat may be allocated only for a section of the journey and you will have to give it up when the reserved seat ticket holder arrives. Occasionally if a train is very full you may have to stand or lean against something for part of your journey. Book early and reserve to try and avoid this. The earlier you book the better train fair prices you get.
