Great find.

Can you board at cardiff and return

If anyone is looking for an excuse, there are lots of lovely beaches near Pembroke Dock and some nice towns - e.g. Tenby, Saundersfoot

Of course you would! It's only just over the Cleddau Bridge which also drops it's 75p each way toll from April...

how did you find out about this and does it come under a bigger promotion - or even if not is there (or will there be) any promotional material on the website or in email newsletters? I am really tempted just to have a day out on the train XD but wondering if there are any other routes or similar promotions....

Think this has expired now :-(

nice offer! :)

Not active (annoyed)

two together on Tesco is £30. You need to use £10 worth of vouchers. You can't get it for £25.50. £25.50 is only for cash purchase using this code.

Hi everyone, how do I get this deal on Two Together Railcard for £25.50? I clicked on the link but was directly to the Railcard website which is still showing £30

still working

Code still working!!!!!! (y)

And by the way, it's not full fare, it's twice the single fare or £20, whichever is higher, and you may be asked to leave the train at the following station. If you bought an advance fare you could be in for a shock.

Nope. You forget your railcard it means you don't have a valid ticket and will be issued with a penalty fare. It's not retrospective. It may have changed a little since I was dealt with like this but that's the nature of the beast, it's a legal document, you have to pay. In my case I was threatened with being kicked off the train if I didn't agree to pay. Having no cards or cash, I had to sign a form and if I didn't pay this fare within a day or so, I got further penalties. Once you've paid, you can appeal but it'll fall on deaf ears because without being in possession of the railcard with the ticket, it's not valid for travel. Plenty of people get caught out in this way.

Absolute nonsense. If you have forgotten your railcard you will be asked to pay full fare and then when you contact customer services and prove your railcard is valid they will credit you for the full fare. People who end up in court have ignored many opportunities to pay. You don't seem to know anything about the system.

Ideal for half term days out/ visits. 🔥

will this work for 2 together as well?

All these different railcards are annoying. Just offer cheaper fares for everyone.

I'm sure it saves money for people who travel long distance via different companies. I only tend to go to London which is an hour away with Chiltern Trains. The offer they gave me never came up on any searches or websites. So if you only do one trip regularly you're better of checking the price on the phone before you buy this card.

You going to pay for it then on tip on our benefits bill?

Yes... so does mine! I am going back to Uni though - how time flies!

Great- get the youngsters into even more debt....

I'm 17 and stated uni in September. I know that it's for 18+ but is there anyway to get it before then?

My partner is going back to uni to do her masters, shes 23. Would she be eligible for this?

Of course its free.........they know eventually you'll be getting a job and paying them 5k a year from the suburbs to the city ;) This is just business for them, they aren't doing it out of the kindess of their hearts!

Years ago the job centre did a 'better off' calculation with me and it came out as £30 better off with this warehouse job (skeptical) I almost burst out laughing but they were being serious that this was a good thing. I was also pushed towards an NHS admin' 'apprenticeship' even though I was 24, and I worked out after travel I'd be effectively working for JSA. Luckily I found a job that paid properly otherwise I probably would have had to do it. Generally this is where the government have miscalculated, people don't work to "pay taxes" and aren't going to be shamed off benefits, they'll work if they're financially better off.

I'm unemployed but Is this a genuine category? I feel like being better off is the minimum bar to set for taking employment. Otherwise why not just remain on benefits? Sense of pride / self worth keeps people from doing that maybe? Even so you can get that from remaining on benefits and doing voluntary work.

There are some negative comments here in regards to this offer, which really is a helpful one so I thought I'd add a bit of perspective. Not a lot of people realise that Universal Credit for someone over the age of 25 is roughly £80 per week and is £60 per week for those under 25 for, erm, ... reasons? So, imagine if you had to chose between going to an interview and potentially not having anything to eat for the next week or so, and not going to the interview and being called lazy, job shy, a job snob, and a scrounger for it. And then having to try and defend yourself to a society who, for some reason, thinks that you live a life of luxury... on £80 a week. Somehow! I added heat because it is genuinely useful. If you (not you personalty @iknowwhere2look - just those responding negatively) think that you are being hard done by because you do not qualify for this, then go get yourself sacked. Sign up for Universal Credit, and I'll see you are the Jobcentre in 2 weeks. ;). Easy as pie.

Who are these people? Are you talking about very specific people in very specific circumstances? I only ask because I claim Universal Credit because I am unemployed. I get £317 per month, which works out at just £2.26 per hour (my claimant commitment states I must look for work for 35 hours per week). If people in full time paid employment are worse off than me then I would encourage them to speak to HM Revenue & Customs immediately.

You can't use a railcard on on-peak trains though right? I'm a commuter under 30 years old and I usually buy weekly or monthly season tickets

Copy places like Japan. There you need a confirmation from the rail company before you can use the trains as an excuse for being late to work.

Some sound tips for those not in the know. Rail prices reflect, to some degree, policy choices as to how rail travel is paid for, and how the rail system operates. The current government thinks rail passengers should pay a greater share of the cost of running the railways, and doesn't seem to feel the need (yet) to tear up the franchise system or fundamentally change the fares system that (to the layman, i.e. me!) seems overly complex (example - look at points 8, 11, 12 and 13 for starters and it is obvious the ticketing system is fundamentally broken). The annual price hike numbers are about the only pricing that the media can pin the rail industry and government down on - had to laugh when hearing Teflon-man and uber-smug politician Chris Grayling come up with a new excuse to deflect from the real issues that he should be doing something about (paraphrasing, his response to fare rises is they will be reduced if rail staff accept lower pay increases - some truth of course but that could be applied to any industry and I'm sure those rail staff have the same bills everyone else does).

Another railcard has only recently been launched. The 25-30yrs railcard

Its good but all useless to the single commuter aged over 30. The biggest thing they could quickest roll out is the oyster card" use" method across the country. We have 1000s of government staff being encouraged to work from home and the archaic ticketing kills that. If i got a weekly and wfh once im out of pocket. If i get a monthly and wfh twice im out of pocket etc. The season tiks are not worth it unless u go in every day of the year.

Don't even get a discount unless it's off peak times.

Sigh, the rail card that came one year too late for me. They had been talking about this thing for ages.

I will never be too old to get a senior railcard.... And you can use it to buy first class tickets and avoid bumping in to young adults, communists and children.

That code is only for use by the Polish, I'm afraid ;)

Thanks much needed

Yes it is - does state in the original post

Only tried the code on here for two together and not valid, is it ONLY for the friends/family railcard?

It won't allow you to enter 2 codes so its either your clubcard voucher code or FLASHBLACK20 :(

Both codes are entered in the same box, I am trying to buy the TWO TOGETHER card and FLASHBLACK20 code not valid?

Still working! £10 in points for £30 plus u can use quidco

Did it with Redspottedhanky train voucher on 4th November and it worked.

National Rail seem very coy about the prices for this card, I have a friend with a 3 year disabled pass which cost £54 and lasts 3 years. This is not available on the Tesco deal which is a shame, but the one year card is not the £30 Tesco claim on their webpage, but is £20. Still a reduction, but not as good as they are claiming it to be.

I used to always use family members Clubcard points together with mine but when I tried last month on eating out vouchers they did not come through, rang Clubcard and was advised they are no longer allowing you to use someone else’s vouchers ;(

It''ll save me £35 on one super off-peak return trip to London, so I'm winning straight away.

this code still works, thank you so much OP (y)

The other week I saw a guy in his late fifties use this on a train. He explained he gets it because he's in full-time education.

Just paid £30 for my kid this morning. ;(

You can buy a 3-year one the day before your 24th birthday. Which means you are a member of the scheme until the day before your 27th birthday. This is the hard limit. There's not way to be a part of this specific scheme if you are exactly 27 or older. Example: If it's your 24th birthday today, the last chance you had to buy a 3 year one was yesterday. The last day to purchase this at all (1yr membership) is the day before your 26th birthday, which then takes your membership of the scheme to the day before your 27th birthday. So you don't really get any additional benefit by buying for 3 years (unless you can get a discount better than these recurring coupons each year.) The exception of course is if you're a mature student, at which point age becomes irrelevant. EDIT: Source: https://www.16-25railcard.co.uk/help/faqs/32/

Only way to make trains just about affordable. Hot.

Just bought a family and friends card for £10 worth of vouchers :)

I've noticed the card you are looking for is also up now but oos just keep an eye out I'm sure it will pop up soon.

It's gone out of stock now. Maybe they are updating it with the X3 points.

It has gone from clubcard is what I meant :(

For the whole of November it has said they are changing the value to 3 x the face value by 30 November. I had £8 of vouchers expiring on 30 November so waited to see if the value changed but had to order yesterday when the change didn't happen.

Thanks for the heads up O.P. This will save me a few quid :D

Haha, I've been called worse. So you can't feel younger or older than you actually are? What a sensitive world we live in.

How is this card any different to the Network Railcard which all the southern folk of all ages are entitled to?

Why should any age group be charged more than any other ageism!

Can I just peer review that comment and recommend that it is appropriate and suitable for publication ;)
