Flexi Seasons

A Flexi Season offers 8 days of travel within a 28 day period - any time, between two Greater Anglia stations.

Customers wishing to purchase a Flexi season for another train operator, e.g. Great Northern, should purchase them directly from that train operating company.

Check the 'buy now' option. If your journey is there, you can purchase it straight away. If you can't find your journey, simply use the 'get a price' option. We will send you a quotation email where you accept and pay.

You will need to activate each ticket before every OUTWARD part of your journey. Information on how to do this is available by clicking HERE.

Customers that have employee specific arrangements with Greater Anglia, please use the 'get a price' option and follow the instructions. We'll send you a quotation. You can then just accept and pay.

Please select your current Smart Card design when completing your details.

Those with a ‘Wave’ design Smart Card will receive a new ‘Hare’ Smart Card in the post.

You can’t exchange a Flexi Season so, if you’ve already been using your Flexi ticket, our recommendation would be to use up your eight journeys and purchase a Season Ticket once you’ve used all your journeys. Alternatively, you can request a refund less the admin fee and purchase a Season ticket.
