I'm young enough, are you?
Review of Discount Railcards by
shaaza
Advantages: get a third off train tickets, lasts for a whole year,
Disadvantages: can't get discounts during peak periods.
...can get the young person's discount even if I order my train tickets online, which saved me time in having to wait in the train station queues which can be very annoying and delaying.
I even got to like the rail card more when I learnt that I could save on other services rather than the train services. I noted that I could also save on hotels such as holiday inn, crown plaza, ilovefilm.com etc.
A huge disadvantage I found about this rail card ...

A Third off?!
Review of Discount Railcards by
grapesoda
Advantages: A third off rail fares
Disadvantages: Too many restrictions
...really get much of a discount before 10am. The minimum fare on a ticket before 10am is 16.00 and all though standard day returns are dear; they aren't that dear so it doesn't really come in handy at that time of day. The most expensive standard day return I sell is 13.30 which is from way out in Essex back into central London so you wouldn't save money on that. However if you do usually pay 20 pounds a day (!) for a standard day return then, yay, ...

Young Person's Railcard
Intro
As friendly as I am, there are some times that I just don't want to talk: when I am on the bus, first thing in the morning. Unfortunately, I've not managed to develop a look that says "Don't you dare speak to me!" Not having the ability to conjure up this useful glare means I have every Tom, Dick and Harry talking to me on the bus. Now I love talking, but there are limits. I know all about what operations you will ...

Review of Discount Railcards by
stoffy
Advantages: saves money, easy to use
Disadvantages: limitations on when they can apply
...minimum charge, meaning that the discount could be considerably less. There are also no discounts for people travelling on Eurostar. However, the Card does allow you to receive discounts on transfers that you may need to take across the London Underground system.
Apart from that, discounts are valid across most journeys that you can take, whether it's single or return, to Inverness or Penzance. It does represent excellent value for money, even ...

Review of Discount Railcards by

Advantages: See Text
Disadvantages: See Text
...Rail Card operates as a discount card for the national network. It gives you reduced fairs on nearly all tickets that can be purchased for journeys, even if they require you using more than one franchise.
The current fee was when I bought mine 9 months ago, £18. I should not imagine this has changed too much in that time. This entitles you to the reduced fairs for 12 months.
But of course, the important thing is what level of discount you ...

The funny world of Railcards.
Review of Discount Railcards by

This card has been replaced by the "New Network Railcard".
