How to book cheap train tickets from Reading to London Blackfriars

If you frequently travel between Reading and London Blackfriars, a Season Ticket allows unlimited travel between these stations and is available for various durations, such as weekly, monthly, annual, or flexi. Enjoy the convenience of not having to buy a ticket for each journey, as well as significant savings.
Network Railcard for South East England
For only a small annual fee, you can save 1/3 on most fares in South East England, including routes in and out of London, with the Network Railcard. Covering both standard and off-peak tickets, this railcard is particularly beneficial for those who travel regularly within this region.
Traveling in off-peak train times

Split tickets to save an average extra 30%

This method is perfectly legal and often doesn't require leaving your seat.
