Departing from and arriving at Greenwich
Before departing from Greenwich
Use Greenwich (GNW) in the departure field and check the platform for your booked direction. Keep all tickets available for inspection, including every part of a split-ticket journey.
If your booking offers ticket collection at Greenwich, the recorded machine location is Platform 2. Check the collection instructions and allow time before your train; a listed machine is not confirmation that every ticket can be collected there.
When arriving at Greenwich
Select Greenwich (GNW) as the arrival station and plan the onward journey from that station, rather than from the centre of the wider area. Check your return departure separately, particularly when the return train uses a different platform.
Greenwich has recorded Category B1 access. Check the platform access notes for both your outward arrival and return departure before choosing your trains; a step-free route in one direction does not establish access in the other.
Compare fares and split tickets for Greenwich
Plan the journey in either direction
Explore the recorded station pair in each direction, then check the dated journey results for services, changes and prices.
For travel between Greenwich and London Bridge, compare the complete price for the same trains, passengers and class. Check a through ticket against any split-ticket combination offered; a cheaper total is not guaranteed. If your plans may change, compare the flexibility of the tickets as well as the price.
What should I check when splitting this journey?
The train normally needs to call where one ticket ends and the next starts, even if you stay aboard. Check every ticket’s permitted trains, Railcard conditions and reservations. Some season and area tickets have specific exceptions.
Read the split-ticket guidance for your journey, or check refunds and amendments before booking.
