Senior Railcards

Dollie21

My senior railcard is due for renewal but am not needing to use it right now. Does anyone know if fees are going to increase soon or whether I could wait to renew until next year? Many thanks

Fares tend to go up in the first week of January, so I would keep your eye open for any notice of an increase at that time... or just before.

Generally, I would say that if you have no trips planned, then do not buy a new card until you need to use it.

Three months is worth £7.50, so you will probably save more by delaying your purchase. I would predict that if there is going to be an increase, it will be less than half that.

That is just my opinion... I have no inside knowledge.

Don't forget that you can get a railcard at half price with Tesco Clubcard.

Belated thanks for your reply - much appreciated! Also I didn't know that I can buy a railcard at half price with Tesco clubcard - thanks for that too!

It's not as simple as that.


Tesco club card holders need to have earned clubcard coupons to half the value of the railcard.


eg. You can use £15 of Tesco clubcard coupons to buy a £30 railcard
