Railcard — discounted rail fares for eligible travellers

Railcards are government‑backed cards for specific groups (such as young people, seniors, disabled travellers or families) that provide reduced fares on UK rail journeys when the card is valid. You can buy and manage many types online or via official apps, and must present or store your railcard when travelling to benefit from lower ticket prices. Railcards suit frequent or occasional rail users in eligible categories who want to lower travel costs across journeys.
