How to book cheap train tickets from Edinburgh (Waverley) to Pontypridd

Traveling in off-peak train times

Taking advantage of Off-Peak train tickets is another effective way to save on your train journey from Edinburgh (Waverley) to Pontypridd. These tickets are generally cheaper and can be used during quieter periods, typically outside of morning (6:30 AM–9:30 AM) and evening (4:00 PM–7:00 PM) rush hours on weekdays.

Get 1/3 off with a Railcard

There are various types of Railcards catering to different types of travelers, such as the 16–25 Railcard, the Family & Friends Railcard, and the Senior Railcard.

Split tickets to save an average extra 30%

Splitting tickets is a perfectly legal practice that involves purchasing separate, cheaper tickets for different segments of your journey on the same train instead of a single ticket for the entire trip. For example, if you are travelling from Edinburgh (Waverley) to Pontypridd, you might discover that buying a ticket from A to C, and then another ticket from C to B, is more economical than a direct ticket.

Book in advance to save an average of 61%

Travel in a group to save 1/3

If you are traveling in a group, be sure to check out group travel discounts. Many train companies offer a ⅓ off standard fares for groups of three to nine people, making traveling from Edinburgh (Waverley) to Pontypridd more affordable for families, friends, or colleagues planning a trip together.
