Train tickets and onward connections

Enter the actual departure and arrival stations when comparing rail fares and train times. A nearby town, a closed station, an airport terminal or a heritage stop may require a separate onward journey.

Check whether the local journey uses its own ticketing system. A National Rail booking does not automatically include a heritage train, ferry, airport transfer, tram or Underground journey.

Before making an online reservation, allow time for the final connection and check the last return service. A ticket for one part of a journey is not a guarantee that every connection is protected.
