We all love a good deal, especially when it comes to travel. Whether you’re commuting for work or planning a weekend getaway across Wales and its border cities, such as Chester, Manchester, and Birmingham, the smartest way to save on train travel is simple: book in advance. With JurnyOn, it’s not just easier—it’s also more rewarding.

💸 Why Advance Tickets = Bigger Savings

Many travellers book last-minute, thinking it offers more freedom. But in reality, instant bookings can cost you much more. If you know your journey even a few days ahead, you can unlock serious savings through Transport for Wales advance fares, directly in the JurnyOn app.

Here’s why it’s worth it:

✅ Booking early can save you up to 35% compared to on-the-day fares

✅ Advance fares are limited—once they’re gone, only higher prices remain

✅ You’ll have more seating choices and a smoother travel experience

🔍 Let’s Compare:

For example, if you were to book a train ticket today to travel on 24th July 2025, for a return journey from Shrewsbury to Manchester Piccadilly, the price would be £14.40 with the Platinum Discount (35% off).

Now, if you booked the same journey today but were planning to travel on 5th June, the price would be £20.15. That’s a £5.75 saving just for planning ahead!

👉 This shows how combining early booking with a JurnyOn discount unlocks the best value fares—especially for future trips.

🌞 Perfect for Summer Travel Plans

With summer approaching, now’s the time to plan your weekend escapes, coastal adventures, and castle-hopping holidays. Whether you're heading to:

🏰 Conwy, Caernarfon, or Harlech Castle

🌊 Pembrokeshire’s coast or Llandudno’s beaches

🎉 Big events like Oasis's first reunion concert or Royal Welsh Show in July 2025

…booking ahead means lower fares and guaranteed seats.

Don’t leave your summer plans to chance. Plan now, book smarter, and spend those savings on ice cream, souvenirs—or another trip!
