Ticket overview

Season tickets are designed for regular travellers, offering unlimited journeys between two specified stations. Whether you travel daily or multiple times a week, season tickets save you money compared to buying individual tickets. Choose from weekly, monthly, or annual options, depending on your travel needs.

Benefits 

  • Unlimited travel: Make as many journeys as you need between two chosen stations. 
  • Cost savings: Save significantly compared to buying daily tickets for the same journey. 
  • Flexible durations: Choose a Weekly, Monthly, or Annual ticket, or opt for a custom duration between one month and one year. 
  • Convenient renewal: Easily renew your ticket online, at the station, or via our app. 
  • Season ticket calculator: Use our online Season ticket calculator to check potential savings. 
  • Digital convenience with sTickets: Store your Season ticket digitally as an sTicket* in the Thameslink app, making it easy to manage your travel without the need for a physical ticket. 

When can I use this ticket type? 

Season tickets are valid for unlimited travel between your selected start and end stations at any time of day during the ticket's validity period. They are ideal for daily commutes or frequent trips along the same route. 

Things to remember 

  • Route-specific: Season tickets are only valid for travel between the routes specified on the ticket. 
  • Upfront cost: Annual tickets require a larger upfront payment but provide the greatest savings overall of 12 weeks’ worth of free travel. 
  • Additional restrictions: These tickets may have extra restrictions when used with a Railcard or other discounts. Please review the terms and conditions before travel and refer to National Rail for more information. 

To find out more about Season tickets please read the terms and conditions.

How can I save further, and what discounts are available? 

  • Gold Card: Adult passengers purchasing a full-priced Annual Season ticket automatically receive a Gold Card, offering additional savings on leisure travel. Benefits include purchasing a National Railcard for just £10 (normally £35) and saving 1/3 on rail fares for themselves and up to three other adults, plus a 60% discount for up to four children on Off-Peak journeys across the South East of England.
  • keyGo: If your travel needs are irregular, consider using keyGo. It automatically calculates the best fare for your journeys, compared with a weekly Season ticket. 
  • Monthly and annual savings: Monthly and Annual Season tickets offer greater value compared to weekly options if you travel consistently. 

Benefits of buying direct 

  • No booking fees: Unlike some third-party retailers, Thameslink doesn’t charge booking fees – we think it’s only fair, that you only pay the fare. 
  • Flexible fulfilment options: As well as paper tickets, Season tickets can be stored digitally on your smartphone as an sTicket, or you can load it onto your Key Smartcard
  • Delay Repay: Buying direct can mean a more straightforward process for compensation in case of delays, through Delay Repay. Use Auto Delay Repay via our app for even more convenience.
