Weekly, Monthly, Yearly Rail Cards
I'm a student, I have a student card but it can't be used in peak.
Anyhow, I'm off into the real world. 9-5.
I'm commuting to Leeds on the Doncaster line.
As far as I can remember and see on nationalrail.co.uk, it works out at £6.30 for a return to Leeds at peak time.
Weekly railcards: £21.80 (saves £10 a week).
Monthly: £70
Yearly: £680.
The monthly works out £18 cheaper than just using weeklies, and the yearly is again about £30 cheaper than 12 monthlies (although with holidays, I won't be working the entire year, only 45 weeks, so really it doesn't save much at all).
So my point is, is there anyway to get these cards cheaper?
Or are there alternative rail cards that can be used during peak, that might work out cheaper?
(worth a try!)
Promo codes? student concession? etc, etc?
