Carnet tickets

How do Carnet tickets work?

A book of Carnet tickets contains five or 10 tickets for travel in a single direction. Each time you travel, use a Carnet train ticket instead of buying on the day until your book runs out.

If you’re making a regular round trip, you’ll need a book of Carnet tickets for each direction.

You can break your journey at any stations in-between on your chosen route

Who are Carnet tickets for?

Do you often visit family? Are you regularly heading into London for meetings? Or maybe you split work between home and the office? Carnet tickets are for travellers who can save on the cost of buying tickets on the day – but not enough to splash out on a Season ticket.

Can I use Carnet tickets on London Underground?*

You can only use Carnet tickets on specific London Underground routes:

• Finsbury Park and Highbury & Islington
  You can use a Carnet train ticket on the Victoria Line only between these two stations
• Finsbury Park and London stations
  Train tickets can be used for journeys between Kings Cross or St Pancras International and Moorgate on the Circle, Metropolitan, Hammersmith & City or Northern Lines. You can break your journey at Old Street only.

_{* Tickets with GREAT NORTHERN ONLY, LDN NOT UNDERGROUND, VIA CITY THAMESLINK or NOT UNDERGROUND are not valid on any London Underground route}

When can I travel with Carnet tickets?

There are two types of Carnet tickets: Anytime (Peak) or Off-Peak.

With a book of Anytime tickets (Peak), you can travel at any time – including the rush hour.

Off-Peak Carnet tickets are handy for avoiding the rush hour during the week. You can travel Monday-Friday on any train:

• Arriving into London after 10am
• Leaving London after 9.30am
• Before 4.30pm or after 7.01pm

On weekends or Bank Holidays, you can travel with an Off-Peak Carnet train ticket at any time.
