Buy in Advance, Specified Trains
These Advanced tickets are sold only as singles and, if you can be flexible about your travel times, you’re more likely to get the lowest available off-peak prices. As these attractive fares are quickly snapped up, try to book ahead if you can. We will allocate your seat when you book your ticket.
You can buy Advanced off-peak tickets in First and Standard Class. You may even want to book Standard Class for your outward journey and First Class for your return journey, or vice versa.
Even if you can only travel off-peak on one leg of your journey, you may still get better value fares because you can buy the lowest price single ticket for every stage of your trip.
Please be aware that Advanced First Class tickets do not allow access into First Class Lounges.
You can also save 10% on our lowest fares if you book online. Stay ahead of the crowd by registering to receive details of when the next wave of National Express East Coast Advance fares will be available.
