We want your ticket booking experience to be enjoyable, cost effective and workable, by taking away the complexity often associated with multiple routes, fares and connections and replacing it with ease, choice and timely journeys.

UK Tickets

Whatever your reason for choosing to travel by train within the United Kingdom, Ffestiniog Travel can assist you in finding the best ticket for your journey. Booking in advance can often be an ideal way to ensure the best possible price, so be sure to discuss with us your travel requirements and we will advise on any special offers available for your journey and contact you when your tickets are available. It is often cheaper to book early and travel outside of busy times, there may also be opportunities to upgrade to first class for a nominal amount. In addition we supply railcards which can lead to substantial discounts over the entire network. If you are over 60, travelling with children, aged 16-25 or a full time student this is well worth considering.

European Tickets

Here at Ffestiniog Travel we are proud to be able to advise you on the best possible way to reach your destination by rail within Europe. We can ensure that you travel the best route for your requirements either from one city to another or between countries. High speed links are opening up travel in Europe and we are happy to recommend whichever may suit you, either as your sole mode of transport or in conjunction with more cultural and historical lines. In addition to “point to point” tickets, a range of passes exists for more extensive exploration. Inter-Rail passes are available in many versions starting from three days in a month in one country up to a whole month’s unlimited travel throughout Europe. Alternatively, the best way of seeing Switzerland is to use a Swiss Pass offering unlimited travel on railways, boats and most alpine post buses, covering a network of over 16,000kms plus a reduction of 50% on funiculars, mountain railways and many cable cars. The Swiss Pass also allows free travel on transport services of 38 towns and cities.

Don't forget to ask for tickets from your home station, in most cases we can offer CIV tickets to London International. These fares, in addition to including the London Underground from your terminal station to London St Pancras, offer a level of flexibility and assurance that normal ATOC tickets don't. If your connecting train is late then Eurostar are bound by the International Conditions of Carriage (Convention Internationale pour le transport des Voyageurs or CIV) to carry you on the next available service.

Worldwide Tickets

Some of the most evocative images of travel are those of the great train journeys of the world. In Canada – The Rocky Mountaineer and Canadian; In Australia - The Ghan, The Indian Pacific and The Overland; In Russia - The Trans-Siberian and Trans Mongolian. Ffestiniog Travel can advise and book many of the iconic train journeys of the world. We are also UK Sales Agents for Japan Rail Passes.
