Once purchased, the Senior Railcard saves you 1/3 off Standard and First Class fares across Britain for a year. The discount also extends to Advance fares – providing they’re booked before you travel. So it works out that you'll earn your money back in savings, in no time.

Using your Railcard
With your Railcard, you’ll save money on both long and short trips. Better still, you can use it anytime on weekends, Public Holidays and during the week. However, you won’t be able to enjoy a Railcard discount when travelling peak time Monday to Friday within London and the South East, including all South West Trains services to and from London Waterloo. The only exception to this rule is if you travel on Bank Holidays.
The times of morning off-peak services do vary by route, so it’s best to check with ticket office staff before buying your tickets.
The savings
Your Senior Railcard will save you 1/3 off Standard and First Class fares, including all Advance fares (providing they’re booked before you travel) and even Gatwick Express tickets.
