I’ve just received my railcard but was surprised to see it doesn’t have my photo on it.

Can anyone with a card please just confirm that they come without a photo. Thank you.

    Wow - thanks. I was really worried they had made a mistake.

    Why do they bother asking for a photo then? It took me ages to get that organised.

    Probably for records etc

    All other railcards have to have a photo, but not disabled or senior.

    I’ve had one for a few years and it definitely doesn’t require a photo.
