How to book cheap train tickets from Braintree to Southend Central

Get 1/3 off with a Railcard
You can choose a Railcard to help you save up to 1/3 on fares from Braintree to Southend Central for various reasons, such as your age (including the 16–25 Railcard or Senior Railcard) or options geared towards group travel (Family & Friends Railcard and Two Together Railcard). Discover more here.
Split tickets to save an average extra 30%
