Save money on rail fares with a senior railcard

If you are over 60, you can save a third on most rail fares throughout Britain. A Senior Railcard costs just £20 yet it could make you great savings on all kinds of journeys for a whole year!

Whether you are sight-seeing, day-tripping, or weekending, the money you save makes it affordable more often.

The Railcard soon pays for itself. For example, make two journey’s normally costing around £30 each and you will save £20.

Going by train makes the journey part of the fun! You can rest, relax, read or just watch the world go by. There’s no finding out how to get there, no wrong turns and, when you arrive, there are no parking problems either – you just turn up and step off.

If you are planning a longer journey it is well worth booking your ticket at least a day or more in advance – it might save you even more money!
