How to book cheap train tickets from Reading West to Basingstoke

Split Tickets for greater savings

For instance, if you're travelling from Reading West to Basingstoke, you might find that purchasing a ticket from A to C, then C to B costs less than a direct ticket. This method is perfectly legal and often doesn’t require leaving your seat.
