Railcards

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

What, if any, are the options, other than 18-25, Family, or OAP for a Railcard?

In other words, if you are over 25 and Under 60, aren't travelling with a Child aged 16 or under, is there a Railcard that is available?

Thanks

Network railcard...same age range as you talk about gets me a third off from off peak tickets from three southern rail companies. Saves me a fortune reading to falmer on a matchday.

Correct. Although it won't over-ride any "one operator only" ticket restriction.

This. I have just bought my Railcard with intention of using it mainly for Amex match days, however if i use it on weekdays ie Tomorrow, i would have to spend a minimum of £13ish to get any discount...........so for week days it doesn't work for me.
