Buying your Southern Advance ticket online can save you up to 40%
Advance tickets are designed for specific one-way journeys which can be booked up to 3 months in advance. There are a range of routes available across the Southern network as well as across many other rail networks, which make finding the cheapest ticket for your journey that much easier.
Tickets are quota controlled, and can sometimes sell out fast! The sooner you book, the more likely you are to get your ticket at the cheapest price. Tickets must be booked before 6pm the day before you wish to travel, but we would recommend you book early to avoid missing out.
