10 journeys for the price of 9 with Carnet

If you often travel back and forth to London on the train but you don't go regularly enough to buy a Season Ticket, the Carnet option could save you time and money.

A Carnet booklet gives you 10 single journeys for the price of just nine*. You can use each ticket for one journey - either from your local station to London or back from London to your local station.
Tickets are valid for three months and you can buy books of Peak (Anytime) or Off-Peak tickets to mix and match as you need.
