About National Rail (Railcard)

When you head to uni, getting home to friends and family becomes more important than ever. But travelling around the UK has never been easier or more affordable than with a student railcard discount. With a 16-25 railcard, you can save up to 1/3 on your train and tube fares, which means heading home at a moment's notice. So you’ll never miss out on that one-off event, family gathering or your bestie’s 21st birthday party. And it’s not all for students - you can get a graduate discount with 1/3 off journeys on a 26-30 railcard to save even more, for life after uni.
