How to book cheap train tickets from Merthyr Tydfil to Cheltenham Spa

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.

Book in advance to save an average of 61%
