Railcard Deals & Offers

No but the train only runs on summer Saturdays so if you didn't come back the same day you'd have to wait until the following Saturday to get this price, or pay the normal fare, which is a lot more. Also, its £12.50 each way, its not a return ticket, in case you didn't realise.

Do you have to return on the same date to get that price ?

I live in Tenby and on Saturdays in the summer i see the London high speed train arrive in the morning suggesting to me that there are no changes to the local small trains so yes first class all the way

Because the previous stop is Pembroke then Tenby, Saundersfoot etc beautiful Welsh country.

Love that :-)

Offer only applies to e-tickets not conventional printed ones, so cold from me.

No it doesn't. Please don't even try and defend the train companies. The whole thing is dysfunctional and the government needs to radically overhaul the industry to deal with increase in passenger numbers. TOCs are in denial -passenger satisfaction surveys pure fantasy.

Its just how the railway works. And it does work for the majority.

Not really helpful. :( If one is going from A to B and has to be there at a certain time, then they need to board the train that arrives whether it is crowded or not. Is this the same reasoning that the management uses?

You need to remember that train operators have a limit to how much profit they can keep. They're is also a national shortage of trains that can be used. Most trains are also built to their current format so it's not as simple as adding more carriages where needed, even if there were some available. Also a good proportion of passengers buy flexible tickets meaning they can board any train, making predicting passenger numbers on any given service difficult. But most importantly, the company doesn't force anyone onto the train. They board of their own accord, so it's their choice to be on a crowded train or not.

Initially tracked at £15, now showing as £1.50!!!

I bought it through this but it didn’t work? I’ve now got an account with Quidco but no tracked claim. So I basically paid full price for this..

Sorry my mistake. It is live.

This is a really good deal that is still valid. Why is it expired? Happens too often

Still valid. Why expired?

What the hell is going on with these student offers???😡 What about us thick people?

Why is this expired, still valid today?

I just renewed it. I'll let you know if it works!

Good question!

Can you get the voucher by renewing a railcard or do you have to buy a new one?

Heat great price!

Horrendous is a bit harsh.

Lol but you get a full refund if you're delayed by an hour and who hasn't got a spare hour or two? Relax, you're on holiday. I've got mixed feelings about Scotrail but tbh not really experienced any train company doing any better.

Brilliant, you'll do, come on up here and stay a week or two at one of our fabulous locations and tell all the expats you meet. Cheers. I'll put you up for a week if you need it, but I'll have to look at you so expect no less than 20 people to be convinced its not worth living here anymore. Shame its so hard to convince them, more and more keep moving up here for clean water, progressive government and landslides.

That may well be self inflicted. I have travelled a lot of the world and the English get a bad image everywhere. You earned it, be proud of it but don't feel the need to inflict it on all of us.Look inwards before asking for the respect of others. Oh, and I'd not trust Scotfail to get you all the way to Mallaig and back with out some kind of miserable excuse for not getting you home. Always have some kind of backup plan. Don't be fooled by the % of trains on time, they cancel a lot of them to avoid being included in that particular statistic.

Yes but no, you can still purchase a season ticket valid for 4 months after your 18th birthday and it will still be honored. Obviously you will need to purchase the season ticket before your 18th birthday. If you buy a Season ticket before your 16-17 Saver expires, you can keep using the season ticket for up to four months after the expiry. The two expiry dates are shown on your 16-17 Saver Source

Will it be possible to use clubcard points to buy it? (you can use clubcard points to buy the other types of railcards)

Not as far as I can tell, sorry. It might be a bit new for it at the moment. 😞

Hi, is there a code for some money off ? Like they usually do for the 16-25 railcard purchase (10% or 20% off)

Just ordered one for son who is 16 today thanks

if you book a train online you can use your railcard for discounts on single journeys at any time of the day, without minimum £12 fee.

If your ticket is over £12 before the price reduction, you will get 1/3 of the price knocked off. Example, a train ticket from Slough to Windsor return is £2.40, with the 16-25 railcard, it knocks it down to £1.80. However, if purchased before 10am, the price will still be £1.80 (if purchased in July and August). Or if purchased outside of the July or August months, it will be £2.40. However, say I buy a ticket from Slough to zones 1-6 day travel ticket, without a discount, that would be £15(ish). The railcard knocks it down to £10.05. So long as the ticket is after 10am on any weekday, I will get the discount. Also, applies to before 10am in July and August. Understand?

SORRY WHAT DOES IT MEAN MINIMUM FARE? DOES ONE PAY THE REGULAR FARE AND £12 ON TOP? PLEASE EXPLAIN. THX

What station is this that you can do it ? Yes I read what you said.

There is a new 16-17 saver railcard which will be on sale from 20 Aug which gives 50% of fares so a great deal for those within this age bracket. Tried posting the deal but not sure why it was taken down without explanation as it would be a better deal than the 16-25 railcard which only gives 1/3 off. Cut and paste information from the site: The 16-17 Saver will go on sale on 20 August 2019. It's valid across England, Wales and services into Scotland, but not on ScotRail or Caledonian Sleeper services. Holders of a 16-17 Saver will be able to buy discounted tickets for travel from 2 September 2019. Customers will be offered the 16-17 Saver as either a digital product on their phone or a physical card that will be posted to them. It's not possible to have both, this is in line with other discount products.

Northern Rail don't run trains to Penrith. Only Virgin and Transpennine stop there. There's a map on their website that shows you where they go.

Usually the clue is in the title. However, Penrith (North Lakes) is not included in this offer: "Sorry, no Northern Advance ticket offers are available for this station."

Did Accrington to Windermere last Wednesday and it cost £6.95 each with our railcards. Bargain!

£11 for me.

Where to? The most expensive standard class return ticket from Leeds to Windermere is £53.70, and that's an undiscounted fully flexible anytime return.

I'll get her to swap it next year ;) thank you x

No problem, things are easily taken the wrong way online! Hope you get it sorted :) The 123 Mini would be the most likely as it's their standard account for anybody up to the age of 18. Unfortunately I don't think that one comes with any such benefits like this student one though!

Sorry not meaning to be rude!, never saw this. I just got a notification for a comment & yours came up. I didn't look at the date. Yer its weird, i will look into it thanks could be the mini. :)

I'm not sure why you're digging up old a month old thread just to be rude, as I was originally just trying to help but OK here goes.. This particular type of Santander bank account can only be opened if "You’re 18 or over" and are about to begin university, or already studying at that level, as per the account terms and conditions. If you are trying to say that your 16 year old daughter has managed to open this specific type of account despite the fact that she isn't eligible, then as her parent you should maybe look into that for her and speak with the bank as this account has criteria such as paying in £500 per semester and offers overdrafts that no minor should have access to, as they aren't legally allowed to due to being under 18. My guess is that she's opened a different type of account and there are maybe some crossed wires somewhere, maybe a Santander 123 Mini?

My daughter opened it at 16 so not sure what your point is?

If you mean this one: https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/16-25-two-together-disabled-senior-citizens-family-friends-railcard-now-only-10-with-tesco-clubcard-boost-3128170 That one was posted over 4 weeks ago so this deal is okay by HUKD rules.

Already posted

This is for all railcards: Disabled Persons Railcard, Family & Friends Railcard, Senior Railcard and Two Together Railcard https://secure.tesco.com/clubcard/boost/search-results/railcard?search=railcard

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.

Anyone found one for this year?

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.
