MoneySaving idea

To anyone who graduate this year, just before you are finishing uni it is worth renewing your travel card (young person card) as it is valid for one year. So at your first year outside you can save a 1/3 on train tickets (depending on the time you travel).
Five exclamation marks the sure sign of an insane mind!!!!!

    Hi avantra,

    You can still buy a young persons railcard up to the age of 25 - so if you buy one on the day before your 26th bday, you'll be covered until you are 27.

    I'm coming up to my 26th you see, so I checked it out!

    Strangely I don't care about losing my 'young' label, it's only the extra 50% on my tickets that bothers me!
