Traveling during off-peak hours

Off-Peak train tickets are generally cheaper than peak-time tickets and can be used on services that are less busy, typically outside the morning and evening rush hours. If your schedule allows flexibility, choosing off-peak hours for your trip from Cardiff Queen Street to Swansea can result in significant cost savings. In most cities and large towns, off-peak hours usually start at 09:30 from Monday to Friday. In other areas, they typically begin at 09:00.

This method is legal and can often result in cheaper fares. For example, if you are travelling from A to B, you might discover that buying a ticket from A to C, and then another ticket from C to B, is more economical than purchasing a direct ticket.

Travel in a group to save 1/3

Many train companies offer GroupSave options that provide a discount of up to 1/3 on off-peak fares.
