Family YHA/Railcard deal

Options
Hi, Morrisons are giving voucher books away at mo if you spend over a certain amount (£50.00 I think). There's a voucher in there for 20% off a family + friends railcard (bringing it down to £18.80 from £26.00), which gives you 1/3 off adult fares and 60% off kids fares, for up to 4 adults and 4 children as long as there's at least one child in your party. If your child's under 5 we've found it works out cheaper to buy them a ticket and use the railcard for all your fares, than to just pay full for 2 adults and get the under 5 on free.

Plus, when you buy the railcard online, after you've paid a deal comes up to get YHA family membership free for a year. So basically you've got the discounted YHA accommodation, and the discounted travelcard to get there. Even if you don't have a morrisons near you, it's prob worth buying the railcard for £26 and getting the free membership anyway, if you're going any distance you usually get the railcard money back on your first trip.

If you mainly drive, if you get the discounted railcard for £18.80, it's actually cheaper than a years YHA family membership (£22.95), so worth doing anyway!
