The most efficient way to spend less on your Bridgend Manchester train ticket may be to get a railcard. While regional railcards can be obtained in some areas, National railcards enable you to save money on most rail fares across the country.

National railcards available: 16-25 railcard, Senior discount card, Two together railcard, Family and Friends discount card and Disabled persons railcard.
Why should I buy a railcard?
In order to understand the benefits of a railcard, you can estimate the number of journeys you need to break even. You will see that usually only a few trips are needed.
For your assessment, you have to include the cost of your railcard, i.e £30, your savings on each journey (i.e.: 34%) as well as the cost of your ticket. The average price of a Bridgend Manchester ticket is £87.47 (1).
Divide the cost of your railcard by the discount: £30/34%= £88. Then divide £88 by £87.47: £88/£87.47 = 1.01. You will need to make about 2 trips from Manchester to Bridgend (one way trip) with your railcard to break even.
