UK (point to point) rail fares can be divided into 2 main types, quota or walk on fares:
• Quota fares are the cheaper fares that are available up to 12 weeks in advance of travel. There are a limited number of each type of these and, as they sell on a particular train, the seats become more expensive. In many cases particularly on intercity trains your ticket includes a reserved seat.
• Walk on fares are more expensive but are always available. These are the fares you buy when you turn up at a station on the day.
We also try to give you guidance in how to make the most of rail travel. For instance there are railcards available to various categories of regular rail traveller, that raileasy cannot sell, but to the holders of which can get offered discounts :
