Bristol Cheltenham train

Discount Bristol - Cheltenham train tickets

The easiest way to spend less on your Bristol Cheltenham train ticket is probably to buy a railcard. While regional railcards are available in some areas, National railcards enable you to spend less on most rail fares across the UK. Everyone is eligible to at least a certain railcard, even non-UK citizens. National railcards available: 16-25 railcard, Senior discount card, Two together railcard, Family and Friends discount card and Disabled persons railcard.

  • If you want to understand how much you can save with a railcard, you have to evaluate how many trips you need to save money. You will see that most of the time, only a few trips are needed.

    For your evaluation, you need to include the railcard cost, for instance £30, how much you're saving on each trip (i.e.: 34%) and the cost of your ticket. The average fare of a Bristol Cheltenham ticket is £9.69 (1).

    Divide the railcard cost by the saving: £30/34%= £88. Now divide £88 by £9.69: £88/£9.69 = 9.09. It will take you approximately 10 trips from Cheltenham to Bristol (one way journey) with your railcard to be profitable.

  • All railcards cost £30 except the Disabled persons railcard that costs £20. Railcards enable you to get 34% off most train fares, so you will save 1/3 on most rail fares.
