National Railcards can offer great value for money if you're travelling by train. Depending on your age as well as your situation, you can get one of the 5 different railcards: Disabled persons, 16-25, Two together, Senior or Family and Friends railcards. Railcards can enable you to save money for your Manchester Blackpool train ticket.

  • In order to understand the benefits of a railcard, you can estimate the number of journeys you need to break even. You will see that usually only a few trips are needed.

    Divide the cost of your railcard by the discount: £30/34%= £88. Then divide £88 by £11.51: £88/£11.51 = 7.65. You will need to make about 8 trips from Blackpool to Manchester (one way trip) with your railcard to break even.
