Railcard
I like to travel and spend £1000 a year on train journeys, buying in advance. I am 28, low income, live in low rent flat which allows me to travel. Because I go to different places the season ticket and other promotional stuff are no good for me. Why are their no railcards for people like me? Think it's a disgrace to be…

I was hoping to get a fairly new used 2nd hand car (depreciation value when buying new just doesn't seem to cut it for me) but it has to be on a…
