  • When buying a railcard, you aim to break even after several trips. But is it really profitable when taking the train from Edinburgh to Hull? 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 Edinburgh Hull ticket (i.e.: £50.00)(1)
