🚆 Train cost & Railcard saver
Enter the adult off-peak return fare from National Rail for your journey. Child fares are estimated at half the adult fare. Under-5s travel free.
Railcards cost £35 a year (3-year options £80 for 16–25, Family & Friends and Senior). Two Together can't be used before 09:30 on weekdays and both named holders must travel together. A Railcard on its own doesn't unlock 2FOR1. You need a National Rail ticket, which can be a Railcard-discounted one. Check each offer's terms.
