Train fair from Luton to Bedford off peak savings?

Hello all.

I have been looking online to try see if I can save some money off my train fair but I not seen anything that would help me.

I need to travel from Luton town centre station to Bedford main station off Ashburnham road.

It would be 7pm or later I would travel and return would be open.
And I would use the train up to 9 times a month.

Cheapest prices I have seen are £8.30 return.
I don't think I can get any rail cards as I am 29?


If anyone knows if I can get cheaper fairs I would very grateful.

Thank you for any help.

    Highly unlikely to be any splits there; and Network railcard no use due to £13 minimum fare. If travelling at the weekend/bank hols then the super off-peak is available at £6.

    You could also get a Gold Card by purchasing an annual Ryde St Johns Road (RYR) to Ryde Esplanade (RYD) season for £164. That would get you 1/3 off those off-peak returns, so you'd make your money back after 7 months of 9 return trips.
