About Railcard
Railcard.co.uk is the official website for National Rail's family of Railcards, which give holders 1/3 off most UK rail fares. The range covers the 16-25 Railcard (for students and young adults aged 16-25 or mature students in full-time education), the 26-30 Railcard, the Senior Railcard (60+), the Two Together Railcard (two named adults travelling together), the Family & Friends Railcard (up to 4 adults and 4 children) and the Disabled Persons Railcard. A Network Railcard is also available for off-peak travel in the south-east. Annual cards typically cost £30 and pay for themselves within two or three return journeys, while a discounted £70 three-year option is available on several cards. Digital Railcards are delivered instantly to the Railcard app and integrate with Trainline, LNER, Avanti, GWR and most train operators' ticket machines and websites.
💡 Money-saving tips for Railcard
- ✓The 3-year option is the best long-term value on most cards, cutting the per-year cost to around £23. Watch for launch promotions each September (student intake) and January with £5-£10 off codes on the 16-25 Railcard. Some bank accounts (Santander, Lloyds) and broadband providers bundle free or discounted Railcards — check existing memberships before paying full price. Use your Railcard on off-peak fares for the biggest 1/3 saving; peak fares qualify on some routes with a £12 minimum fare rule. Always add your Railcard number when buying tickets on Trainline or LNER to unlock the discount.
