All that is needed is a bit of forward planning and no real restrictions on travel times. Flashy with a family card gets good deals and we get to and from Scotland as cheap. Yes they are limited but its def worth the little time spent on the net and if no net access the station ticket office can be as good.

Proof is in the pudding as they say.

I cant fault the family rail card either, had it for a number of years & its been worth it & paid for itself times over

Need to renew mine when I get orginised. Has saved me a small fortune over the years.

You can download an application on line or you should be able to get a form at the station.

Disabled Person's Railcard

There you are bernadette. It costs £18 per year or £48 for 3 years. If you read the website it will tell you what proof you need. Its nicely timed this i go and pick a prescription up tomorrow all i have to do is photocopy it. Dont need photo's either and when i rang up today and asked they said i dont need a photo either. Also with the disabled railcard for a companion travelling with you they get the discount as well.
