How to book cheap train tickets from Merthyr Tydfil to Plymouth

Traveling in off-peak train times

Off-Peak train tickets are generally cheaper than peak-time tickets, allowing travel outside morning (6:30 AM–9:30 AM) and evening (4:00 PM–7:00 PM) rush hours on weekdays. If your schedule allows for flexibility, choosing off-peak times for your trip from Merthyr Tydfil to Plymouth can result in significant cost savings.

Get 1/3 off with a Railcard

Split tickets to save an average extra 30%

This often turns out to be more affordable than buying a direct ticket, and you won't even need to leave the train… or often your seat!

Book in advance to save an average of 61%
