How to book cheap train tickets from Reading to Basingstoke
Traveling in off-peak train times
We recommend buying train tickets from Reading to Basingstoke during off-peak hours.

Choosing off-peak train tickets means benefiting from cheaper fares and less crowded trains, making your journey more enjoyable.
Get 1/3 off with a Railcard
You can choose a Railcard to help you save up to 1/3 on fares from Reading to Basingstoke 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 for greater savings
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 Reading to Basingstoke, 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%
Advance Tickets are typically released up to 12 weeks before the travel date and can offer significant savings compared to tickets purchased closer to departure. By planning your trip from Reading to Basingstoke ahead of time and booking your tickets early, you can potentially save up to 61% on your travel expenses.
Travel in a group to save 1/3
If you are traveling in a group, be sure to check out group travel discounts. Many train companies offer a ⅓ off standard fares for groups of three to nine people, making traveling from Reading to Basingstoke more affordable for families, friends, or colleagues planning a trip together.
