Senior Railcard

100% Independent & European-based

Senior Railcard discount

The Senior Railcard takes a third off most rail fares in Great Britain, and it is open to anyone aged 60 or over. There is no upper age limit and no restriction on how often you travel.

How to buy a Senior Railcard

Online from the official Railcard site or at a station ticket office. You need proof of age — a passport or a driving licence — the first time you apply.

Senior railcard renewal

It runs for one year, or for three if you buy the longer card, and can be renewed as many times as you like. Buying the three-year card costs less per year than renewing annually.

Senior Railcard savings

The discount applies to Anytime, Off-Peak and Advance fares alike, in Standard and in First Class. We print no price: it is reviewed each year. Compare the routes you actually travel with Gopili to see what a third off is worth to you.
