Travelling in a group of 3-9 people? Then GroupSave tickets could be for you
GroupSave ticket
GroupSave train tickets could save you up to 34% off adult tickets when 3 to 9 people are travelling together in Standard Class. We’ll automatically apply the GroupSave discount when you buy your train tickets online and on the SWR app.
If you’re travelling with children (aged 5-15), it may be cheaper to buy an adult GroupSave ticket for the whole group. To do this enter the number of children travelling as adults into the ticket request.
If there are 3-9 adults in the group, it could be cheaper to buy GroupSave train tickets for the adults and add additional children paying the normal child fare.
If you travel regularly with the kids, then a Family and Friends Railcard is another great way to save with 1/3 off adult fares, and 60% off child fares.
You can't use a Family & Friends Railcard with the GroupSave discount, so check to see which will be better value before you buy. As GroupSave train tickets aren't available nationally, a Family and Friends Railcard could be a great way to save on other group travel journeys.

With GroupSave tickets can some of the group travel on different trains?
Unfortunately no, the group must travel together at all times. With GroupSave you must all travel together on the same train – otherwise you may be asked to pay the full fare for the journey or be liable for a Penalty Fare. If your group needs to split up at any time then you should buy separate GroupSave tickets for each smaller group (3-9 people).
When travelling with a GroupSave ticket, make sure you're all close together throughout your journey so that our staff can check your ticket as a group.
At least 1 adult (aged 16 or older) must travel within each GroupSave ticket, and the whole group must travel together at all times.
No further discounts are available for children or Railcard holders.
GroupSave tickets are only valid for certain times of the day. Please use the journey planner to check that the times you want to travel fall within this. There may also be certain journeys and certain dates that GroupSave will not be available. Please check the National Rail website for GroupSave restricted dates.
