Discount Nottingham - Derby train tickets

National Railcards can save you a lot if you're using the train. Depending on your age and your situation, you are able to get one of the five existing railcards: Disabled persons, 16-25, Two together, Senior or Family and Friends railcards. Railcards can help you pay less for your Nottingham Derby train ticket.

  • If you want to understand how much you can save with a railcard, you have to assess the number of journeys 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 cost of your railcard, i.e £30, how much you're saving on each journey (i.e.: 34%) as well as the cost of your ticket. The average fare of a Nottingham Derby ticket is £5.93 (1).

    Divide the cost of your railcard by the discount: £30/34%= £88. Then divide £88 by £5.93: £88/£5.93 = 14.84. You will need to make approximately 15 trips from Derby to Nottingham (one way trip) with your railcard to be profitable.
