Important notice
If you bought a Railcard online but haven’t yet received it and are due to travel shortly, you can provide the email confirmation of your Railcard purchase together with photo ID so that staff can validate your discounted ticket. If you haven’t been able to purchase a Railcard online, you can buy most 1-year Railcards at any staffed National Rail ticket office (see individual Railcard websites for details). If you’re having issues with your existing Railcard, please contact us on Twitter, Facebook, 0345 3000 250 or railcardhelp@nationalrail.co.uk.
Railcards mean saving on every train journey, giving you a discount of 34% off the full adult fare, and some offer up to 60% off child fares too. Discounts also apply on some London Travelcards, PlusBus, ferry services and Ranger and Rover tickets.
There are a range of Railcards available for train travel that will save you money on each journey. It doesn’t matter if you’re going for a night out or heading somewhere nice for the weekend, or perhaps to follow your sports team throughout the season, no one likes to pay more than they have to and a railcard can make this a reality!
