What’s a Weekly Season ticket?

A Weekly Season train ticket gives you 7 days of unlimited travel between 2 stations (and any stations in between). You can use your ticket at any time, including in the evenings and at weekends.

This ticket option is perfect if you travel by train frequently between the same 2 stations, and it should work out cheaper than buying daily Anytime Day Return train tickets.

Use our season ticket calculator to find out how much you could save with a Weekly Season ticket, and compare it to other options like Monthly and Monthly Plus Season tickets to see which one fits your travel needs best.

How do I buy or renew a Weekly Season ticket?

You can buy and renew an adult or child Weekly Season ticket online, on our SWR app or at a ticket office.

It’s worth noting you’ll need a photocard for your Weekly Season train ticket so take a recent passport-sized photo of yourself to your local ticket office and they’ll make you a photocard for free. If you’re getting a photocard for your children, you’ll need to bring a passport or birth certificate for proof of age.

Once you have your photocard, you can buy or renew a Standard or First Class weekly train ticket.

Buying paper Weekly Season tickets

You can also buy paper Weekly Season tickets from your local ticket office or online. If you buy online, check our postal delivery options to make sure it arrives in time and covers the value of the ticket.

If you're buying a new Weekly Season train ticket or renewing a season ticket with a break in continuity, this will need to be bought on the date you want it to start. If the start date is on Monday or Tuesday after a public holiday, your season ticket can be issued on the Sunday before from 06:00.

If you're renewing your ticket with no break in continuity on Sunday, Monday or Tuesday after a public holiday, you can renew it on Friday from 12:00. If the start date is on any other day, your ticket can be issued from 12:00 the day before.

Can I apply a railcard to my Weekly Season ticket?

You can’t use a Railcard with most Weekly Season tickets as season ticket savings are already applied. However, children (aged 5-15 inclusive) get a 50% discount on Standard and First Class season tickets including London Travelcards. If your child's Weekly Season ticket starts before their 16th birthday, the 50% off travel will still apply until the ticket expires or up to four months after their 16th birthday, whichever comes first. Once they've turned 16, they can buy a 16-17 Saver Railcard to continue getting 50% off train travel.
