About Kieran Read

I am a UK rail travel enthusiast and Content Specialist at TrainPal, where I help bring train journeys to life through inspiring guides, travel tips, and destination advice. With a passion for discovering new places by rail, I enjoy sharing the experiences, insights, and practical knowledge that make train travel easier and more enjoyable.

Based in London, I regularly explore the UK by train, travelling with operators such as Chiltern Railways, Southern, Thameslink, and Avanti West Coast, as well as using the Underground and Overground to uncover more of the capital. When I'm not exploring closer to home, I love venturing across Europe by rail, with journeys through France, Italy, Spain, and beyond fuelling my passion for seeing more of the world by train.

My top money-saving tip for train travel in the UK

"Did you know it can occasionally be cheaper to buy two Single tickets instead of a Return? It's pretty unlikely and the savings aren't often substantial, but for those chasing the best deal no matter what, it's always worth checking."
