Aged 26-30? Did you know you are eligible for a 26-30 Railcard?
Many people will have heard of the 16-25 railcard. Many students who are moving to a university that is a long way from home use one to travel back home cheaply. Having one will also allow you to travel to see friends and family, as well as exploring other parts of the UK.
But more and more people are putting off going to uni later and later in their lives, and more people are studying as mature students. What many people don’t know is that there is also a 26-30 railcard. Read on for our guide to the 26-30 railcard.
