New ‘Secret Fares’ offer up to 50% off London–South Wales train travel
The trial, run in partnership with travel app Seatfrog, offers heavily discounted fares on popular routes including London Paddington to Cardiff, Newport, Swansea and Carmarthen.
Instead of choosing an exact train, passengers select their travel date and a broad time window – morning, afternoon or evening – and receive their confirmed departure 24 hours before travel.
Sample fares
Among the headline prices being promoted are:
‘Accessible and affordable’
GWR’s Head of Marketing Helen daCosta said the scheme was about making rail travel more accessible while filling spare seats on quieter services.
“This new partnership offers great value fares while at the same time taking advantage of spare space on less in‑demand services,” she said.
Seatfrog CEO Iain Griffin said the idea was to give people more choice and flexibility:
“Pick a date, a time‑window, and enjoy travel that’s kinder to your wallet – no compromise on the experience.”
Who it’s for
The tickets are aimed at leisure travellers, students and anyone with flexibility who prioritises savings over specific departure times. Multiple tickets can be booked together, though seats are not guaranteed to be next to each other.
Secret Fares can be booked from three months in advance up to five days before travel. They are non‑refundable and railcard discounts do not apply.
Trial until 2026
The scheme runs from mid‑September until 31 March 2026, with the potential to expand to other GWR routes if successful.
Tickets are available via the Seatfrog app or at seatfrog.com, with more details at gwr.com/Secret-Fares.

Are you frustrated by the long ticket waiting line? Know those "special" broker techniques!
You do not get a confirmed ticket if you book the ticket from the ticket counter or yourself. But the brokers have a trick by which they give you confirmed tickets. Still you need to be a little careful. Because sometimes this intelligence can put passengers in trouble.
