A Senior Railcard costs £30 for a 1-year Railcard or £70 for a 3-year Railcard.

Senior Railcards are a fantastic way for eligible individuals to save money on train travel across Great Britain. These Railcards offer significant discounts, typically one-third off most off-peak train fares, making rail journeys more affordable for older travelers.

Senior Railcard Pricing

The cost of a Senior Railcard depends on the duration you choose:

Railcard Type Price (1-year Railcard) Price (3-year Railcard)
Senior Railcard £30 £70

Opting for the 3-year Railcard provides a greater saving compared to purchasing three individual 1-year Railcards over the same period.

  • Standard Off-Peak tickets: Ideal for leisure travel during quieter times.
  • Anytime Day tickets (some restrictions apply): For those needing to travel during peak hours on specific routes.

  • First Class Advance tickets: For a more comfortable journey at a reduced price.
