How to book cheap train tickets from Reading to Sanderstead

Split Tickets discount

It might seem unusual, but buying several cheaper tickets for different sections of your journey can result in substantial savings - and you won't need to move seats at all. Even better, Trip.com automatically finds and arranges these split tickets for you, so there's no complicated planning required.

Using a Railcard for 1/3 off

Explore a range of Railcards that typically offer 1/3 off most train tickets, including the 16-25, 26-30, Family & Friends, Two Together, Network and Senior Railcards, as well as the 16-17 Saver, which offers 50% off. They’re easy to purchase and store digitally in your Trip.com app, meaning you're only ever a tap away from great savings.

Travel during Off-Peak train times

We'd strongly suggest avoiding rush hour crowds by travelling on Off-Peak services, often leading to a cheaper and more peaceful journey. Exact timings vary between providers, but in general, skip travelling between 06:30 AM–09:30 AM and 4:00 PM–7:00 PM on weekdays. Off-Peak rates are available all day on weekends and bank holidays.

Group travel deals

If your party consists of 3 to 9 travellers, you can benefit from group travel discounts — often up to a third off regular ticket prices. It's a great way to make trips from Reading to Sanderstead more affordable for friends, family, or work groups.
