How much is a Railcard?

Railcard prices

Railcard prices are fairly consistent across the board, with most Railcards priced at £30 for one year or £70 for three years. A Disabled Persons Railcard costs £20 for one year or £54 for three years. The three-year passes are exclusive to the 16–25 Railcard, Senior Railcard, Disabled Persons Railcard, Family & Friends Railcard and Veterans Railcard.

We always recommend going with the three-year pass, as it’s 22% cheaper compared to purchasing a one-year pass annually. This not only provides cost savings but also safeguards you from potential price increases.
