How to book cheap train tickets from Pontypridd to Cardiff

Traveling in off-peak train times

Taking advantage of Off-Peak train tickets is another effective way to save on your train journey from Pontypridd to Cardiff.

Get 1/3 off with a Railcard

You can choose a Railcard to help you save up to 1/3 on fares from Pontypridd to Cardiff for various reasons, such as your age (including the 16–25 Railcard or Senior Railcard) or options geared towards group travel (Family & Friends Railcard and Two Together Railcard). Discover more here.

Split tickets to save an average extra 30%

Splitting tickets is a perfectly legal practice that involves purchasing separate, cheaper tickets for different segments of your journey on the same train instead of a single ticket for the entire trip. For example, if you are travelling from Pontypridd to Cardiff, you might discover that buying a ticket from A to C, and then another ticket from C to B, is more economical than a direct ticket.

Book in advance to save an average of 61%
