Blind or visually-impaired customers who do not have a Disabled Persons Railcard travelling with a companion
If you are registered as blind or visually impaired and you are travelling with another person, the above concessionary discounts on fares apply for both you and your companion. You cannot get a discount if you are travelling on your own. Discount applies to adult fares only.
You must show a document confirming your disability when you buy your ticket and when travelling. It must be from a recognised institution, for example, Social Services, your Local Authority, The Royal National Institute for the Blind (RNIB) or St Dunstan's. Tickets can be purchased from staffed National Rail station ticket offices.
People who stay in their own wheelchair for a rail journey who do not have a Disabled Persons Railcard
If you need to stay in your own wheelchair during a journey and you do not have a Railcard, you are eligible for the above concessionary discounts. Discounts are available on adult and child fares.
The above discounts apply if you are travelling alone. They are also available to one adult travelling with you. Tickets can be purchased from staffed National Rail station ticket offices.
Season tickets for blind or visually-impaired people
If you are blind or visually-impaired, you can buy one adult Season ticket that enables a companion to travel with you on National Rail services only at no extra cost (so two people travel for the price of one). It doesn’t have to be the same person travelling with you on every journey.
Please take evidence of your visual impairment with you to prove your eligibility. It must be from a recognised institution, for example, Social Services, your Local Authority, The Royal National Institute for the Blind (RNIB) or St Dunstan's. Tickets can be purchased from staffed National Rail station ticket offices.
