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.
