Hundreds of new, cheap train fares created
Hundreds of new, cheap train tickets are being created by operator GWR, bringing more affordable journeys to some of the UK’s most popular destinations.
The new tickets being introduced by GWR could save you over £40* on journeys from Oxford. Working in partnership with Greater Anglia and Greater Northern some new fares have already been created, with Advance fares to Cambridge and Canterbury now available.In addition to the cheap Advance fares between Oxford and London Paddington, over a hundred new Advance fares are also being created by GWR for journeys from Oxford to leading destinations outside of the GWR rail network.
Starting from as little as £13.50 in Standard and £25 in First Class, customers who hold a valid railcard may also be entitled to even more money off.
Adding to GWR’s existing Advance fares, the new tickets will allow you to travel for cheaper beyond the GWR network to destinations such as:
- Brighton
- Cambridge
- Canterbury
- Dover
- Eastbourne
In addition to the new rail fares, a through ticket incorporating bus and rail travel to/from the Oxford Westgate shopping Centre, in conjunction with the Oxford Bus Company, has also been created. For some journeys the Oxford Westgate return ticket only costs £7.50.
