Is there a definitive list on when certain concessions can be used?
IE, you have the D50 rate, but I note there is also a D34 rate. What's the difference and when would you use 34 instead of 50?
There's a huge amount of rates so just wondering what would be used when for some of the less obvious ones.

See this page on National Rail for the example you have quoted - http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/stations_destinations/44965.aspx

For other discount types feel free to ask on here as I doubt there is one list. I use some obscure discount types like Senior Rail Save (SRS) for certain ticket sales but I'm sure other TOCs use the same code for different things.

Use of the TST discount code automatically comes with a personal congratulations from me to the customer as everybody eligible for that knows just how lucky they were to get it!

Thank you both :)

Didn't know they designated it TST. Wonder what it stands for? They should have made it MRC... (Millennial Railcard) But then YNG is also outdated I suppose.

TwentySix to Thirty I would have thought. YNG I can understand, but why they decided to use SRN rather than SNR baffles me.

Good thinking on TST. It does look alarmingly like an abbreviation for "TEST", though. The Senior Railcard was originally called the Senior Citizen Railcard, which might explain it better.

Ah ha, I thought this but it's officially called "16-25 Railcard" <-- subtlely changed from "Young Persons". Why, I don't know as mature students can get it.

Millennial Railcard would make no sense once the post-Millennial cohort became eligible for it.

I think ATOC did research which suggested many potential holders didn't realise they were eligible for the YP Railcard.

It was historically called Young Persons’ Railcard.
