Using your UK railway timetable can save you not only time, but money. Use your UK train journey planner to search for advance tickets and make payments before you get to the station and save money.

A timetable is useful because you can see when off-peak trains run. These trains will not be as popular, so it may be easier to get a discounted ticket for these services. It's usually easier to get a seat on these, so it is very useful to know when they go.

A train timetable is also useful to have with you. Although you may plan to catch the 5:30 train home, if something goes wrong, it is useful to be able to consult a train timetable and see when the next train is. There is nothing worse than moving hell and high water to get to the train station 15 minutes after your train has left, only to find out that it is 2 1/2 hours 'til the next one. Had you known, you could have taken your time getting to the train station. For this reason, whenever you are traveling by train, make sure you carry a timetable.
