How to book cheap train tickets from Reading to Looe

Season Tickets for frequent travellers
If you travel between Reading and Looe on a weekly, monthly, or annual basis, we’d highly recommend a Season Ticket, which provides unlimited travel between the two stations (during specific times) for a set price. Not only will you receive significant savings, but you’ll also remove the stress of purchasing individual tickets.

Travel during Off-Peak train times
To enjoy a calmer and often cheaper journey, we recommend choosing Off-Peak services and steering clear of the busy rush-hour periods. While timings differ slightly by operator, it’s usually best to avoid travelling between 06:30-09:30 and 16:00–19:00 on weekdays. On weekends and bank holidays, Off-Peak fares apply all day.

Using a Railcard for 1/3 off
Save money on your journeys by choosing from a variety of Railcards, most of which give you 1/3 off standard fares. Options include the 16-25, 26-30, Family & Friends, Two Together, Network and Senior Railcards, plus the 16-17 Saver offering 50% off. You can buy and store them digitally in your Trip.com app, keeping big savings just a tap away.
