Plan rail journeys across Great Britain, search live station departures and reach each train company's current timetable.
Paying and tapping your card
Bank-card tap-in/out is available only on eligible routes. Check the contactless map before relying on it; most intercity journeys still require a ticket.
How to buy a ticket
Compare Advance, Off-Peak and Anytime tickets. Advance normally binds you to the booked train; check every ticket's route and time restrictions. Buy online, via an operator app or at a station.
Finding the right fare
Check the linked operator for the fare on your chosen route and date. Compare single, return and day-ticket options where available; booking, baggage and reservation conditions can differ.
Take this with you
