How to book cheap train tickets from Merthyr Tydfil to Cathays

Traveling in off-peak train times

Taking advantage of Off-Peak train tickets is another effective way to save on your train journey from Merthyr Tydfil to Cathays.

Split tickets to save an average extra 30%

For example, if you are travelling from Merthyr Tydfil to Cathays, 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%
