If you have a disability that makes travelling by train difficult you might qualify for the Disabled Persons Railcard. The Railcard allows you to get a 1/3 off most rail fares throughout Great Britain. If you're travelling with an adult companion they also can get the same discount - so you can save money for your friends too!

How much is it?

£18 for a One Year Railcard. £48 for a Three Year Railcard.

So, use your Railcard for a £54 fare you'll save £18 on the journey. That means a one year Railcard has paid for itself in just one trip! Take friend with you and you''ve saved enough for lunch, a visit to the cinema or whatever you both enjoy.

You need to give proof that you are eligible for a Railcard. You might qualify if you: have a visual impairment or a hearing impairment or have epilepsy or are in receipt of a disability-related benefit.
