Which Season ticket is right for me?

If you travel the same rail route at least twice a week, our Season ticket calculator can help you save. Just choose your route, how often you travel, and your ticket length – we'll find the best value Season ticket based on cost per day, making your journeys more cost-effective.

What Season tickets are available?

Flexi Season tickets are valid for travel on any 8 days within a period of 28-days, between the two stations.

Weekly Season tickets are valid for any consecutive 7 days, which could save you money compared to daily tickets if you travel three or more times a week.

Monthly Season tickets are valid for a full calendar month. If you need a longer time period you can select additional months and days, creating a Custom Season ticket.

Annual Season tickets offer the most savings if you’re going to be buying Monthly or Custom Season tickets for 10 months or more. They're valid for a full calendar year so you effectively get 12 weeks of free travel. You may also qualify for a free Annual Gold Card, which gives you discounts on your rail travel across the south east of England.
