 What are off peak times for train travel?

Off peak train time to and from London

Travelling into London? You can travel on any train arriving at London Waterloo (or any station in zones 1 to 6) after 10:00.

Travelling away from London? You can travel on any train leaving London Waterloo from 09:30.

Off peak train time

You can sometimes travel earlier, particularly if you're travelling long-distance - these are called easements. For the best way to find out which trains you can use your ticket on, book through our website.

When can I buy an Off-Peak ticket?

You can buy anytime from twelve weeks before you travel, right up to when you arrive at the station from the ticket office or machines. To help make sure customers don't get on the wrong train with a ticket that's not valid, some of our ticket machines won't sell Off-Peak tickets until shortly before they can be used.

Are there any extra discounts on Off-Peak tickets?

With our super off peak tickets you can save 34% extra with all railcards on Standard Class Off-Peak fares and up to 34% on First Class Off-Peak fares if you hold a  Senior ,  HM Forces  or  Disabled Persons Railcard. You can also save on child tickets for all Off-Peak fares!

If you’re travelling in a group of 3 to 9 people, you can save a third on tickets with  GroupSave  discounts.

How can I buy an Off-Peak ticket?

The easiest way to buy your ticket is through our website, on our app or at any ticket office or machine

Find out more about ways to buy your ticket .

Can I break my journey with an Off-Peak ticket?

Generally, yes. You'll normally be allowed to break your journey with an off-peak ticket. Some journeys may mean that you can't, and you should check the full restrictions on your ticket to see if you can or not.

I need to travel on a different train - can I change my off peak ticket?

Off-Peak tickets give you some flexibility - if you can still use an Off-Peak ticket on the train you now want to travel on, you can just catch that one instead!

If you want to travel during peak time, you'll just need to pay the difference between the Off-Peak fare and the  Anytime train ticket fare. There's no admin fee to pay but you will need to do this before you travel - even if you plan to do it on board the train, you might still be liable for a Penalty Fare if you board without making sure your ticket is valid.

What happens if I miss my next train because of a delay?

If you've been delayed by the railway (for example, if you miss your connecting service because of a delay to your train) then you can use your ticket on the next train. If your ticket wouldn't normally be valid on that train (for example, if it's a peak time train) then speak to the ticket office or on-board team to get your ticket stamped or signed to allow you to travel.

If you've been delayed by something that's not within our control, then you can use your ticket on the next Off-Peak service.

If a delay on one of our trains means you end up being 15 minutes late or more to your destination, you may be entitled to claim compensation under our  Delay Repay  scheme

There are engineering works now and I don't want to travel. Can I get a refund?

If there's a change in journey times or mode of travel (a bus replacement service) and you no longer want to travel you can claim a full refund on the unused tickets from your original retailer.

If you're buying your tickets more than six weeks before you travel, we always recommend that you check timetables again at the six-week mark and the planned engineering work timetable.

Train strikes in May 2024: Full list of dates and lines affected

Rail lines are set for disruption in the week following the first May bank holiday as train drivers at 16 rail companies strike on different days.

Thursday 25 April 2024 10:29, UK

off peak travel south west trains

Train drivers will stage a fresh wave of strikes and overtime bans in May, causing disruption to the rail network.

The strikes are part of a long-running dispute over pay.

Members of Aslef union at 16 rail companies will walk out on different days from 7 to 9 May.

Additionally, all members will refuse to work any overtime from 6 May to 11 May.

Here is a full list of the services affected by strikes and when.

Rail strike dates

Tuesday 7 May

Strikes will affect c2c, Greater Anglia, GTR Great Northern Thameslink, Southeastern, Southern, Gatwick Express and South Western Railway.

Wednesday 8 May

Strikes will affect Avanti West Coast, Chiltern Railways, CrossCountry, East Midlands Railway, Great Western Railway and West Midlands Trains.

Thursday 9 May

Strikes will affect LNER, Northern Trains and TransPennine Express.

Overtime ban dates

From Monday 6 May to Saturday 11 May union members will not work overtime.

Overtime bans, an action short of a strike, means some services may not be running or may be reduced as drivers refuse to work their rest days.

People are advised to check before they travel, as some areas may have no service.

How do strikes and overtime bans affect services?

Strikes tend to mean services on lines where members are participating are extremely affected or cancelled entirely, whereas overtime bans often lead to reduced services.

An underground train pulls into Leicester Square station in central London February 11, 2014. A planned 48-hour strike this week by staff on London's underground rail network which threatened to bring travel misery for millions has been suspended to allow further talks, unions said on Tuesday. REUTERS/Neil Hall (BRITAIN - Tags: POLITICS TRANSPORT BUSINESS EMPLOYMENT)

Are there strikes on the Tube too?

There have been regular strikes on London Underground too recently, and while there aren't any planned walkouts for drivers, customer service managers are set to walk out on Friday 26 April in a dispute over terms and conditions.

There will also be an overtime ban for the customer service managers on the following days:

Monday 29 April

Tuesday 30 April

Wednesday 1 May

Tuesday 2 May

Wednesday 3 May

Thursday 4 May

Friday 5 May

The Transport Salaried Staffs' Association (TSSA) says the action by its members is likely to cause Tube stations to close at the last minute, including on the Saturday following the strike (27 April), while TfL has said on its website "some stations may need to close at short notice".

Despite the warning, a TfL spokesperson has said they aren't expecting significant disruption.

This action follows strike action taken by the same workers on 10 April, which the TSSA said had a "real impact" with "many stations shut at short notice".

They say they are "extremely concerned" about TfL's 'Stations Changes' proposals.

"We have made it clear that our union will not accept the continued threats to our members' roles, locations, terms, and conditions to stand unchallenged," a TSSA spokesperson said.

"We will continue to take sustained action until London Underground is prepared to negotiate with us in good faith."

Commenting on the impending strikes, a TfL spokesperson said: "We are disappointed that TSSA is continuing with this strike action following a consultation process.

"While we don't expect this action will cause significant disruption, we urge TSSA to continue to work with us to help find a resolution.

"There are no planned job losses as part of these vital changes which will improve the service we provide to customers at our stations."

How can I stay in the loop?

Why are the strikes still happening?

Aslef rejected a two-year offer of 4% in 2022 and another 4% this year, saying it is way below inflation, and is linked to changes in terms and conditions.

Aslef said train drivers have not had an increase in salary for five years, since their last pay deals expired in 2019.

The union said after its members voted overwhelmingly in February to continue taking industrial action, it asked the train operating companies to hold talks.

General secretary Mick Whelan said the year-old pay offer of 4% and another 4% was "dead in the water".

Unlimited trips

The “Edinaya” passes permit unlimited travel during a specified period of time. You can start using these passes within 10 days from the time of purchase, and the validity period will start counting down from the first use. However, going forward, the 30-day passes can only be purchased through a Troika card and they are ready for use from the time of purchase.

  • 90 days: 5190 rubles (US$91.5)
  • 365 days: 18900 rubles (US$333.21)
  • Although Moscow’s metro system might seem complicated with its 14 lines, planning a trip is easy thanks to the interactive map on its official web page and app.
  • Purchasing single tickets is cheaper than buying a Troika card.
  • If you have money loaded on your Troika card and you are going to leave the country, you can go to any of the metro’s main offices and request a refund for the available amount on the card, including the deposit.
  • The maps inside the stations and trains show the stations in both the Russian and Latin alphabets.
  • The app Yandex.Metro offers bilingual maps and allows you to plan your trip, estimating travel time and considering the connections you have to make.
  • As some of Moscow’s famous metro stations are among the most beautiful in the world, they are also among the busiest. Avoid visiting them during peak hours.

Interesting Facts

  • Moscow’s metro is renowned for its stations adorned with murals, mosaics, chandeliers, and artworks. These beautiful stations have become one of Moscow’s tourist attractions, with tours that explain the art and history of the stations.
  • The Moscow metro was one of the first metro systems in the Soviet Union.
  • This metro system is the sixth-largest in the world.
  • The Park Pobedy station, at a depth of 276 feet (84 meters), is one of the deepest in the world. Moreover, it has one of the longest escalators in Europe.
  • All metro lines have had free Wi-Fi since December 1, 2014, thanks to the company Maxima Telecom.
  • With more than nine million passengers daily, the Moscow metro is one of the busiest metro systems globally.
  • Although it hasn’t been confirmed, it is speculated that a secret metro system exists beneath some of the regular lines. This system, referred to as D-6, was supposedly created to evacuate a select group of influential people in emergencies such as a nuclear attack during the Cold War. It is believed that this secret metro is managed by the army.

Future expansions

Although the Moscow metro is extensive and reaches the city’s borders, including connections with surrounding districts, it continually requires expansions and upgrades to cater to the growing demands. Some stations from Line 1, the first to operate, are among the oldest in the system and require upgrades.

While substantial extensions have been completed in recent years, major expansions of Moscow’s metro are currently under production. Presently, several lines are planned to be extended by a total of 93 miles (150 kilometers) by 2020. Key projects of the expansion will add 5.9 miles (9.5 kilometers) to the Lyublinsko-Dmitrovskaya line and will extend the metro system into the Solntsevo district and the suburbs of Moscow.

Connection to the airport

Moscow has three international airports, each 19 to 25 miles (30 to 40 kilometers) away from downtown. It’s possible to reach any of them using a combination of the metro and bus, but bear in mind this may not be the best option if you are traveling with a lot of luggage, as the bus drops you off in the suburbs where you will then need to take a metro to downtown Moscow.

If you are traveling with a lot of luggage, the best option is to hire a taxi or take the Aeroexpress, a train that connects the airports with downtown Moscow.

If you are not traveling with a lot of luggage or if you are looking for the most cost-efficient option, it’s entirely feasible to get downtown by bus or metro. Here’s how:

From Domodedovo airport: You can take the 308 bus to Domodedovskaya station on the green line (Line 2) and from there continue your journey to your final destination using various metro lines. The ride from the airport to the green line lasts 30 to 40 minutes. Express buses cost 100 rubles (US$1.76), while the 24-hour buses cost 120 rubles (US$2.11).

From Sheremetyevo airport: Various bus lines take you from the airport to the Rechnoy Vokzal station on the green line (Line 2) or to the Planernaya station on the purple line (Line 7). The trip to either of these two stations lasts 40 to 50 minutes. A 90-minute ticket, including a bus trip, admission to the metro, and unlimited connections during the 90 minutes, costs 50 rubles. (US$0.88).

From Vnukovo airport: The N611 bus takes you to the Yugo-Zapadnaya station on the red line (Line 1). The trip, costing 50 rubles (US$0.88), lasts around 40 minutes. You can purchase a 90-minute ticket that includes the bus trip, admission to the metro, and unlimited connections during the 90 minutes.

Sights to see via Moscow’s metro:

Saint Basil’s Cathedral: This iconic cathedral is not just a landmark in Moscow, but also in all of Russia. This Orthodox Church, unique in its architecture and famous for its colorful domes, is located in Red Square and is part of UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites. The cathedral is a 10-minute walk from Line 3’s Ploshchad Revolyutsii station and from Line 2’s Teatral’naya station.

Red Square: In addition to Saint Basil’s Cathedral, Red Square is also home to the Kremlin, the official residence of the President of Russia, the Monument to Minin and Pozharsky, and Lenin’s Mausoleum. To reach the square, take Line 3 to Ploshchad Revolyutsii station or Line 2 to Teatral’naya station.

Metro stations: With their chandeliers, murals, and mosaics, the metro stations are a tourist attraction in their own right. Some of the most famous and beautiful include:

  • On Line 5: Kievskaya, Belorusskaya, Komsomolskaya, Novoslobodskaya, and Park Kultury
  • On Line 3: Ploshchad Revolutsii, Elektrozavodskaya, Kurskaya, Park Pobedy, and Slavyansky Bulvar
  • On Line 2: Mayakovskaya

Tretyakov Gallery: It is one of Moscow’s most renowned art museums. It houses the largest collection of Russian works in the world. The gallery is a five-minute walk from Line 6’s Tretyakovskaya station.
