Discount Slough - Cardiff train tickets

The best way to spend less on your Slough Cardiff train ticket must be to have a railcard. While regional railcards exist in some areas, National railcards enable you to make savings on most rail fares across the United Kingdom. Everyone is eligible to at least one of the railcard, even non-UK citizens.

When buying a railcard, you aim to break even after several journeys. But is it really profitable when travelling from Slough to Cardiff? Use your calculator, considering:

A = the cost of the railcard (i.e.: £30)

B = average price cut with the railcard (i.e.: 34%)

C = average cost for a Slough Cardiff ticket (i.e.: £89.30)(1)

The first step is to divide A by B: this will give you the budget from which the card will be efficient. You can now divide that number by C. It will give you the approximate number of journeys needed across the year to be profitable.

In our example, A/B = £30/34% = £88.00. Then, 88/£89.30 = 0.99. Your railcard will be profitable if you're doing around 1 trips from Slough to Cardiff (one way trip).
