    Senior railcard, costs £30 and save 1/3 on each ticket. Use Tesco vouchers to triple up and it's only £10 worth of vouchers.



    I bought the Senior Railcard 1.5 years ago, but better value at £70 for 3 years, so far, above the cost of the ticket, I have saved over £191 and still have until August 2023 to get even more savings.
    Corduroy pillows are making headlines! Back home in London now after 27years wait! Duvet know it's Christmas, not original, it's a cover.

    Some football clubs discount at age 60 - but not all.
    Now a gainfully employed bassist again - WooHoo!

    I think it's after 09:00hrs, not peak times - but check though. But yes, worth having - £30 a year, £70 for 3 years I believe.

    My Home team in Sussex count 60 as a concession
    Which is great £6 rather than £11
    It's a little annoying when visiting other clubs in the same league, who decide you need to be 65 and over to qualify.

    And you can link your Oyster card to it to get discounted travel.

    Am I right in thinking that you can use your membership south of the border?
     In which case anyone already located in the south might want to join NT Scotland!
    Being polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything! --
    Many thanks

    Yes, although there's a bit of a 'grey' area about parking charges.  Let's just say, 'Nobody has ever challenged us'.

    There are some caveats to it - I don't think you can use it down South in your first year of membership.

    We have NT Scotland membership and have used it down South from the word go.
    Parking is only a problem at places like Dunstable Downs, where you have to scan your (English) card to get free parking.
