Southern Advance tickets

Loco ToledoBuying your Southern Advance train ticket online can save you up to 25%. This fantastic offer is available on selected routes across the Southern network. For example, why not travel from London Victoria to Brighton for as little as £3.75 each way, or Milton Keynes to Southampton from just £5.65. As an added benefit Railcard discounts are also available giving an even greater saving.

Journeys must be made with Southern ONLY.

You can buy your Standard or First Class Advance single ticket at your local Southern ticket office but the 25% discount is only available online (on selected journeys). And remember, unlike some of our competitors we don't add booking fees or credit card charges.

Helpful hint: When booking your ticket online, to ensure you choose a journey on Southern services, once you've hit search please click 'Select your route' (located to the left of the search results) and choose the 'Southern' checkbox. Its that simple!
