About Railcard
Railcard sells discount cards for train travel in Great Britain, run by ATOC Limited together with Network Rail. Cards cover groups such as 16-17 and 16-25 year olds, 26-30s, seniors, disabled people, families and friends, couples and veterans, plus a Network Railcard, and they come as a digital or physical card for one or three years.
Railcard - frequently asked questions
Here we answer the questions people ask most often about Railcard - from voucher codes to card types and how to buy one.
How do I use a Railcard voucher code?
Choose your Railcard and term online and go through to payment. If you have a valid voucher code, enter it in the code field before you pay and check that the price has changed.
Can I keep my Railcard on my phone?
Yes. Railcards are available as a digital card that you keep on your phone, as well as in physical form. Pick the format that suits you when you buy or renew.
Do I need an account to buy a Railcard?
Setting up an online account lets you buy a Railcard and renew it later from the same place. There is also a help centre on the Railcard website if you get stuck.
Are there extra benefits beyond cheaper train fares?
Railcard holders can also use partner discounts on things such as food and entertainment. Check the offers listed on the Railcard website to see what is available at the moment.
Tips for using a Railcard voucher code
Enter your Railcard voucher code at the payment step of the online purchase, before you confirm the order. Make sure the code matches the type of card you are buying, as an offer may only apply to certain Railcards or terms. Check the final price before paying, because a code usually cannot be added afterwards.
How to save at Railcard
Using a Railcard voucher code when you buy is one way to bring the price down. Choosing a three-year card rather than a one-year card means you renew less often, so compare the two terms before you pay. Picking the card that matches your age group or travel companions, and using the partner discounts on food and entertainment, adds to the value you get from it.
Delivery
A digital Railcard is set up through an activation link sent by email, so there is nothing to wait for in the post. A physical card sent by standard delivery can take up to 10 days, while special delivery takes 2-3 days. Railcards can also be bought at stations.
