Rail fares will rise yet again on Thursday.
So if you're a regular train traveller, you can book now and avoid the latest price hike, The Mirror reports .
On January 2, the price of a train ticket will jump 1.7%, pushing the average season ticket to above £3,000 for the first time.
Season ticket holders who plan ahead could save an average of £83, dodging what the Labour Party claims is an average rise to £3,067 from £2,980 a year.
Rail fares increase at the start of January each year and under government rules are capped at the retail prices index (RPI) rate of inflation from the previous July. But if you book before January 2, you'll still pay 2019 prices.
Paul Plummer, chief executive of industry body the Rail Delivery Group (RDG), said: "We understand that no one wants to pay more to travel, which is why train companies have for the third year in a row held the average fare increases below inflation while still investing to improve journeys.
"Passengers will benefit from 1,000 extra, improved train carriages and over 1,000 extra weekly services in 2020.
"The industry will continue to push for changes to fares regulations to enable a better range of affordable, mix and match fares and reduced overcrowding on some of the busiest routes."
But many campaigners have hit out at the hike.
The Transport Salaried Staffs' Association general secretary, Manuel Cortes, said: "Highwayman may be a thing of legends but there is nothing even remotely romantic about our train robber barons.
"The shop stewards for the privateers, the ill-named Rail Delivery Group, continue to defend the indefensible - fare hikes and profits being extracted from our passengers. The cosy, fleecing cartel running our railways have no shame.
"The Tory Frankenstein experiment of rail privatisation has more than run its course. Passengers are sick to their back teeth of paying for boardroom largesse and eye-watering fares."
