The best way to spend less on your Darlington Sheffield train ticket must be to have a railcard. While regional railcards exist in some areas, National railcards enable you to make savings on most rail fares across the United Kingdom.

• When buying a railcard, you aim to break even after several trips. But is it really profitable when taking the train from Darlington to Sheffield? Use your calculator, taking into account:

  A = the railcard cost (i.e.: £30)

  B = average price cut with the railcard (i.e.: 34%)

  C = average cost for a Darlington Sheffield ticket (i.e.: £32.98)(1)

  The first step is to divide A by B: this will show you the budget from which the card will be efficient. You can now divide that number by C. It will give you the approximate number of trips needed across the year to start saving money.

  In our example, A/B = £30/34% = £88.00. Then, 88/£32.98 = 2.67. Your railcard will be profitable if you're doing around 3 trips from Darlington to Sheffield (one way journey).
