Discounted fares

Multiple Journey Tickets

These include Season Tickets or Day Rover Tickets.  They are good options if you plan to travel frequently and could work out cheaper than buying separate single or return fares. You can buy these from your travel operator.

MTicketing

Some Operators now offer the option to buy tickets through Mobile Apps. These can be single or multiple tickets for certain journeys and can work out cheaper than buying these separately. Instead of a physical ticket your mobile phone/app acts as the ticket. Check with your travel operator if they offer this.

English National Concessionary Travel Scheme

If you are of pensionable age or meet certain categories of disability you may be entitled to an English Concessionary Travel Pass. You can check your eligibility and apply.

Scheme Discounts

Some operators provided discounted travel for certain groups of passengers when traveling on their services.  For example the Young Person’s Railcard. You may need to pay an upfront fee to join the scheme. But if you use the services regularly it could be that the membership will be covered by the savings at the end of the eligibility.
