Disabled Railcard
Disabled Railcard discount
The Disabled Persons Railcard takes a third off the fares of the holder and of one adult travelling with them. It is the only railcard with no time restriction at all: the discount applies on any train, at any hour, including weekday peak services.
How to buy a Disabled railcard
Online from the official Railcard site, or by post. The application asks for evidence against one of the published eligibility criteria — which cover, among others, receipt of certain disability benefits, registered visual or hearing impairment, and epilepsy.
Disabled railcard renewal
It runs for one year, or for three if you buy the longer card, and is renewable. Once your eligibility evidence is on file, renewing is quicker than the first application.
Disabled Railcard savings
Because it works at peak times, it saves the most on exactly the journeys other railcards restrict. We print no price: it is reviewed each year. Compare your own routes with Gopili to see what the discount is worth on them.
