How to book cheap train tickets from Reading to Forest Gate

Get 1/3 off with a Railcard

Split Tickets for greater savings
Splitting tickets is a perfectly legal practice that involves purchasing separate, cheaper tickets for different segments of your journey on the same train instead of a single ticket for the entire trip.
