Cheap regular train tickets

Hi, I have a new job starting in Jan that will involve travel every week from Leeds to London. I've looked at season tickets but this doesn't really work with just one return journey a week but I have heard about other ways of buying blocks of journeys.


Does anyone know if there are any ways of booking multiple journeys at a reduced price than just buying singles? The outward will be peak travel time.


Thanks in advance!

    I believe that some (probably only a few) TOCs issue Carnet tickets, but whether your route is one of them I don't know, and it might not cover peak time travel anyway.

    Assuming Advance tickets are not suitable for your needs, and you need a fully flexible ("Open") ticket, you can get 5 for the price of 4: https://www.virgintrainseastcoast.com/news/business-carnet/
