What type of ticket should I buy?

If you set off on one of the branch lines after the morning peak and will be coming back the same day, get an Off-Peak Day Return. You can buy your ticket online on the GWR app or website.
Off-Peak Day Return tickets are perfect for exploring a line in one day. You can can hop on and off at stations along the way, as long as you keep going in the same direction of travel. They’re great value and are available all year round.
When to buy?
You can buy your ticket online before you travel on the GWR app or website.
To buy your ticket in person, if you’re travelling from a station that has a ticket office or ticket machine, you must buy your ticket before you board the train.
If you’re getting on at a station that doesn’t have these facilities, buy your ticket on the train from the guard.
Advance tickets
If you’re travelling from further afield, you should buy your ticket in advance to get the best price. Tickets can be bought up to 12 weeks in advance. The earlier you book, the cheaper it can be. Buying a ticket for a long distance journey on the day will mean paying the walk up fare which can be very expensive.
