If you qualify with kids the right age it can save a lot of money on train fares.

You can see whether it's worthwhile by planning dummy trips with & without the discount. Seems to pay for itself in one go even on shortish journeys - trainline: buy cheap train tickets, get UK train times & fares - book seats online

Bump. Last few days for this.

This offer is back again.

If you have kids under 16 it really does make train travel much cheaper. For e.g. without the card a day trip for 1 adult & 2 kids to Bath (booked over 2 weeks in advance) is £50 return. With the card the same journey on the same day is £26.

You get 2 months free & after that the option to buy the 12 month card at a 50% discount, which was £13 last year. It pays for itself the first time you use it.

That's a good deal IF you have kiddies to travel with - which unfortunately we do not. However, there are other railcards! We qualify for senior citizen railcards, which cover the whole country but are £26 each, and you can only buy for yourself. However, there is also the Network Railcard at £25, covers enough of the country for us, and I can buy tickets for up to 4 people on it!
