Providing your department will stamp the form then the ticket office will issue a card. Just like you can buy a 5 year rail card when your 23-24... and it still lasts 5 years.

EDIT: appears you can only get 1 and 3 year ones now..

Memory's a bit iffy now as this was a while back but when I tried to purchase a 3 year rail card at the age of 25 it wouldn't let me. I'm pretty sure I would have tried. This was online by the way. Perhaps you could get away if you tried at a station.

I turned 26 in February and I know students are still entitled to the 16-25 railcard. My railcard expires in October and I am no longer a student in June.

You can still use your existing railcard until it expires.

Do you think they will allow me to buy a new railcard so close to the end of my degree? Has anyone done this?

I suppose the situation can apply to a student of any age 26 and over about to graduate. Trains cost so much without one and I could really use the discount for a bit longer for job searching.

See their criteria for buying this railcard when over 26.
