Two Together railcard

Options
Does anybody have experience of this card ?

I discovered, trawling through MSE, that you can use £10 worth of Tesco vouchers to get "free" railcards - so we went for the TT option.

At first it wasn't completely clear (to me at least) what the terms and conditions covered - but now I think I have a handle on the key aspects.

Both named parties must travel together and for the whole length of the same journey - and it can't be used singly.

    My wife and got one of these back in February.

    I went to our local railway station and picked up the leaflet which explained it - it's good for us as we've already been to London for a day trip and we're going to do the same again soon.

    It's good for us since we don't drive, so can use the rail network to go places (and also get 2 for 1 admission on some places we'd want to go and see by taking the train, so a double saving on the train + attraction tickets) :D

    That's right, two named people (matching the photos) travelling together. You have to buy both tickets at the same time or the railcard discount can't be applied.

    The ClubCard offer is excellent value.

    Thanks both.

    I applied online yesterday AM and the card dropped through the letterbox this morning !!!

    Update - got two advance fare tickets for £20.10 total from Newcastle to home in central Scotland from Loco2 - what a bargain.

    Was able to drop by the nearest station and print off tickets within the hour - how convenient. :)

    It's brilliant. Me and Mr S have one and use it a lot. Thoroughly recommended. :)
