do you know of any other cheap routes? The one you have suggested isn’t working for the family and friends card. Think it may have something to do with the rail replacement service. Thank you for any help
16th Nov
Stourbridge town to Stourbridge junction. If you buy a child ticket it is like 70p. Dunno if this helps
16th Nov
Maybe worth a reminder that most Railcards are available with £15 of Tesco vouchers.

No ticket purchase necessary & you have a while to actually use the code that's generated. Was a year but may have changed. (edited)
24th Nov
Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't that mean your Railcard will have cost you £1500?
16th Nov
Price is £19.80 for me. (edited)
16th Nov
You need to sign up as a new customer and then skip the first deal that comes up and go to specific black Friday deals and it should list at £15.

I have not been required to buy a ticket as well it just says my Railcard will be issued on X a week's time that I chose. Are you sure you have to buy a ticket as well op?
16th Nov
Never got what this is. So if I buy a single journey that usually costs £2.90 how much will it be discounted by? And what about the tickets that cost £5.20. With a railcard would on/off peak no longer matter? I thought it was a yearly pass but ofc that was too good to be true.
16th Nov
You get the rail ticket with 30% off after purchasing the railcard. Depends how often use use rail and ticket prices if it’s worth it. You can save more than £15 in one trip!! Off peak still works.
16th Nov
If I get a Network Railcard with this does anyone know if it'll give me discounts on solo trips London - Edinburgh?
16th Nov
My husband looked at train ticket from London to Newcastle with the network railcard, and it does give a discount for part of the journey I think.
16th Nov
Thanks for posting.
Does anyone know if you get the card instantly?
I'm travelling by train later today so wondering if I can use it for todays journey?
16th Nov
Yes
16th Nov
So can you book the absolute cheapest ticket you can find to activate offer or is there a mjnimum spend?
16th Nov
£13 to use the card but any price to activate.. I think 👀 (edited)
16th Nov
Got the Network Railcard (thanks!). Trying to activate it but the Lichfield route costs 1.04 (with 5% extra discount) and the Stourbridge one 1.33. I know the difference is just 34p, just trying to understand if I'm doing anything wrong as they are not 70p.
16th Nov
The website states that the Network Railcard is for travellers in the South East of England.

Quote from the website for the Network Railcard

For up to 4 adults and 4 children aged 5-15,For travellers in the South-East Network Railcard zone.

I don't know what happens if you try to use it outside of that area..
16th Nov
My current railcard expires soon on the 9th Dec does anyone know if this will this commence from when your current one expires?

Recently received a renewal email but they are offering £30 which is a bit stupid when these 3rd parties offer less. (edited)
16th Nov
On Trip there is an option to set a start date in the future when you go to buy your Railcard, so just set it the day after your current one expires. Remember you might still need to buy a ticket on the Trip app to get it to activate. (edited)
16th Nov
50% discount = £15 is "Sold Out" apparently with only the 34% discount £19.80 left on offer
17th Nov
I'd rather just use the 30% discount on Trainline and save the faff.
17th Nov
Agree, at least the Trainline works and is instantly in your app.
19th Nov
Can anyone over 31 get one?
20th Nov
Potentially yes.

Fill in the details at the bottom of the link below to see which Railcard you are eligible for and select the railcard for more details.

16th Nov
If you’re 36, single, and live in the north, there’s nothing for you here 😔
16th Nov
If you're rich in the south east we'll give you a discount to get into London.
16th Nov
Purchased. This is the third website I use to get a Railcard (last year TrainPal, year before Trainline). It is utterly ridiculous that these offers are not provided by network rail directly, which is where I used to buy my railcards years ago.
Half the price, the merchant takes the money to Hong Kong according to the receipt... Nice!
21st Nov
Does the train ticket (required to active it) have to be purchased via Trip.com or can be done via any webiste? e.g. Trainline, National Rail etc?
16th Nov
Good deal, Network railcard has saved me loads over the years, I’m just a casual commuter to London for days out etc and after 2 return trips using the Network railcard it’s already paid for itself, well worth it
16th Nov
I can't tell if this is a good deal for travelling from London to brighton on a weekend or not. I'm thinking it must be right?
16th Nov
Yes, have a look at the details for Network Railcard.

16th Nov
Another railcard post that makes my brain go "you're old, yes you're old, and can't get a railcard. Yes you are actually way over thirty even though you think you are 28. Yes, old grippa."

For some reason for brits, the railcard is the yardstick of ageing. LOL. (edited)
16th Nov
Except you can get a network railcard if you travel to the south east… (edited)
16th Nov
Love this yearly offer. The Trip app is a user experience shocker but £15 for a railcard, in which I would save that much on a single trip, is worth the minor inconvenience of using the app. Thanks for posting! (edited)
16th Nov
Thanks! Just got mine and saved £20 on my train ride next week
16th Nov
Just checking that you could buy, activate and use the Railcard for a discounted train ticket on the same day? I'm traveling this weekend so would like to use it asap. Thanks!
22nd Nov
Just purchased mine for £15. Logged into the Trip.com app (android) and the railcard has been loaded into my account - it says it's valid from today but I haven't purchased a train ticket yet.

Anyone know if there is any way to delay the start date? My current railcard expires on 20th December, so was going to wait the full month before activating this Trip.com one...
16th Nov
Saw this posted last week, Friday I think, then it mysteriously disappeared. Good deal.
16th Nov
I think I’m doing something wrong, when I go to book the ticket to activate it says no railcard even though on the previous page it has the railcard picked.
can someone tell me what I’m doing wrong? Thank you

Same here ! How did you get on ?
16th Nov
Worked great thanks
16th Nov
Anyone succeed without the app? I'm getting photo upload failed no matter how I try on desktop, mobile browser, choosing from file, choosing take a photo
16th Nov
I managed to order. Simply used an old pic that I had against a black background. Didn't quite fit the outline provided, but they accepted it.
16th Nov
Scam took multiple payments and didn't work
16th Nov
After you buy your first train ticket are you always restricted to buy future tickets via trip? Or can I use the railcard to get tickets from other train ticket retailers?
16th Nov
no need to buy via trip
16th Nov
From my experience, if you have already bought something from trip (e.g. fly tickets), the railcard will activate automatically after purchase.
21st Nov
Can’t remember using Trip.com but i’ve used Trainpal in the past (i think they’re the same company?) and mine activated straight away too so didn’t need to purchase a train ticket!
16th Nov
can i buy today for a starting date in january? (edited)
16th Nov
You have 30days to activate it apparently but I’m guessing the date you bought is the date the start date of the railcard.
16th Nov
got the network card but need to make a trip before its activated
16th Nov
I was lucky when I bought my railcard on a previous offer at I didn't need to buy any ticket to activate the rail card. (edited)
16th Nov
Same tickets are £25 on trip.com and £18 on Trainline
17th Nov
Can you give the journey details? That doesn't seem right.
Except for split tickets (and booking fees which trip do not change on mobile), tickets *should* cost the same across all sites that are national rail accredited
16th Nov
Just to make people in Scotland aware that maybe aren't, that there are Scotrail rail cards with various generous offers. I just bought the over 50s one that gives a flat rate price of £17 anywhere in Scotland on occasion, 50% off food and drink and 20% off all non peaktine fares (peak times have stopped right now so that's all times at the moment).

How does this work? Can I end up with a super cheap return ticket from London to Cardiff or something?

Does this work with travel cards? (to London Paddington then The Tube?) (edited)

19.80 for Me , expired ?

There is 1000 limit a day at £15 and resets every day at 10am, now showing £15 again
17th Nov

£15 here
17th Nov
If you use the train just 2 or 3 times a year then this is a must have. I've saved £20 per non rushour journey, I'm about to save £30 on my next journey. The Trip app is a little fiddly but worth it.

Even worth it at £20 / year (edited)
17th Nov
Anyone knows how much for 3 years? No easy way to find using link on this deal
17th Nov
I bought the Network Railcard and all seems fine (it gets applied to the trips). However, when I try to register it on railcard.co.uk it says the number does not exist? I'll try again tomorrow. Would like to be able to use it without trip.com.
17th Nov
The Railcard only works within the app (you can't export it to the Railcard app, for example) so you will need to keep the trip.com app installed for inspection on any journeys you make. You are free to purchase tickets through other retailers.
17th Nov
I'm 40 can I still get one ?
