The best way to spend less on your Wakefield Doncaster 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. Everyone is eligible to at least one of the 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 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 Wakefield Doncaster ticket is £7.83 (1).
Divide the cost of your railcard by the discount: £30/34%= £88. Then divide £88 by £7.83: £88/£7.83 = 11.23. You will need to make approximately 12 trips from Doncaster to Wakefield (one way trip) with your railcard to be profitable.
Railcards enable you to save 34% off most adult fares for 12 months. A Disabled persons railcard costs £20 and the five other ones £30.
