Desperately need the new guide! Most accounts require activations one month before and it's creeping up to a month before the start of most uni's. Please Martin I'm relying on YOU!

I would recommend Natwest, purely on the offer of (I'd double check to make sure this is still relevant) a 5 year student railcard, which offers 1/3 off all tickets saving alot of money! They're also a MAJOR bank and so branches can be found absolutely everywhere...

I already have a railcard that I purchased not long ago which will cover my travel till the end of next term. So waste of incentive. I'm thinking either Abbey, HSBC, Loyds or Santendar University.

Is there going to be an update for 2009/10?

Hope so, as it'll be very useful.

I requested this a couple months back too.
