Types of Cards:

• 16-25 card. Anyone who is aged between 16 and 25 can take advantage of a card which only costs £24 but will give one third off rail travel, meaning that you don't have to be a student now, to take advantage of the plan, just between 16 and 25. In addition there are lots of discount offers for you to take advantage of.
• Student card. Are you more 25 years old, and still in full time education? Then you qualify to buy the student railcard and save money on transport to and from college or uni. It is exactly the same as 16 - 25 card, except that it also accommodates all full time students. Enjoy this discounted way of traveling while it last. Get your student rail card.

• Family and Friends card. The Family and Friends card is available to anyone who is using a train with children. You get one third off an adult fare and then a massive 60% off the children's fares and yet the card only costs £24 for a year. You can also benefit from the discount offers that will be sent when you get your card.
• A Seniors card also costs £24 and gives one third off travel for anyone who is aged 60 or over. This means that you don't even have to be retired to take advantage of this card, you can have it even when you are working. And the discount offers are also available with this card.
• Disabled Persons card. If you are a disabled person who has difficulty using a train, due to your disability, then you and a carer or helper can each get a third off your fare with the Disabled Persons card. This card also works out cheaper, at only £18 per year, or you can buy a 3-year card for only £48.
