How to book cheap train tickets from Cathays to Cardiff Bay
Traveling in off-peak train times

If your schedule allows for flexibility, choosing off-peak times for your trip from Cathays to Cardiff Bay can result in significant cost savings.
Get 1/3 off with a Railcard
You can choose a Railcard to help you save up to 1/3 on fares from Cathays to Cardiff Bay for various reasons, such as your age (including the 16–25 Railcard or Senior Railcard) or options geared towards group travel (Family & Friends Railcard and Two Together Railcard). Discover more here.
Split Tickets for greater savings

Travel in a group to save 1/3
