How to book cheap train tickets from Basingstoke to Reading

Traveling in off-peak train times

We recommend buying train tickets from Basingstoke to Reading during off-peak hours.

Split Tickets for greater savings

Splitting tickets involves buying separate, cheaper tickets for different parts of your journey on the same train instead of just one ticket for the entire trip. For instance, if you're traveling from Basingstoke to Reading, you might find that purchasing a ticket from A to C, then C to B costs less than a direct ticket. This method is perfectly legal and often doesn't require leaving your seat.
