Paying and tapping your card

PAYG uses the same card/device to tap in and out at eligible stations. Separate North and South Wales zones apply; it cannot connect those zones or extend beyond them. Check eligible operators and the current map.

How to buy a ticket

Buy train tickets on the TfW website/app or through station facilities. Compare the fare and restriction details shown for your exact journey.

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.
