GroupSave: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how groups can save money on train travel using the GroupSave discount.

GroupSave is a discount designed to make rail travel more affordable for people traveling in larger parties.

Who it's for

This scheme is intended for groups of people who are traveling together on the same journey. To qualify for the discount, your group must consist of at least 3 people, but no more than 9 people traveling at the same time.

What you get

When traveling as a qualifying group, you can receive a 1/3 discount on your tickets. This is a way to reduce the total cost of your rail travel when you are not traveling alone.

What it costs you

While there is no direct fee to access this scheme, you will need to plan ahead. To ensure you can take advantage of the GroupSave discount, you must book your tickets in advance. This planning is necessary to secure the lower price rather than paying full price for last-minute travel.

The catch to know

The main rule you must follow to keep the discount valid is that every person in the group must travel together at all times. You cannot split the group up during the journey; everyone must remain together for the duration of the trip.

How to apply

  1. Confirm that your group size is between 3 and 9 people.
  2. Look for GroupSave options when searching for your specific rail journey.
  3. Complete your booking in advance to ensure the discount is applied to your fare.
  4. Carry your tickets with you as you travel.
