What types of National Rail tickets are available?

 National Rail fares are broadly divided into Advance, Off-Peak/Super Off-Peak and Anytime:

• Advance is generally cheaper, but only valid on the booked trains
• Off-Peak tickets are only valid outside certain peak travel times
• Anytime tickets offer the most flexibility but are usually more expensive. You can use any train on the booked route

Please note: Check the conditions of your ticket, as flexibility and refund conditions vary depending on the fare. 

DB can currently only sell separate tickets for the outward and return journeys. Unfortunately, it is not possible to sell the outward and return journeys on one ticket (“Return Ticket”).
