Fare Key

Flexible fare key

Generally off peak simply means avoiding the morning rush hour but it can also apply to the evening rush hour; for clarification please check with the train company you are travelling with or enquire at your local station. Super off peak is generally valid for travel in the middle of the day.

The cheapest advance fares are subject to availability so if they are sold out they will not display and the cheapest fares will be super off peak or off peak fares. On Raileasy you can now easily select 'combo fare' with increased flexibility in just one direction or both! A detailed explanation of the fares is provided below.
