16-25 Railcard as a Mature Student

[gray1404]

Asking for a friend. He's a full time mature student at university. What are his options for getting a 16-25 Railcard? Is it possible for him to get one valid for 3 years or is it just the one year one?

We picked up a leaflet at a booking office today and it says mature students can now apply online too. Does this extend to other retailers? If so any Railcard offers that can be taken advantage of?

From the official 16-25 railcard website its just one year at a time and that's all the online form allows you to choose

Mature students still get love​

If you are a mature student in full-time study, you can also make the most of these savings with the 1-year Railcard. But you will need to show the following:

Thanks for that. So the question is can this only be purchased if online form National Rail. Would be good to stack with an offer?

They can be purchased from Ticket Offices as well. The Generic Railcard leaflet has a section for the College/University to complete, or they can download the PDF application form at https://www.16-25railcard.co.uk/dow...cards Application Form - Print at Home(1).pdf to save going to a station to pick up the leaflet and then going back once the College/University has completed their part.

When I was a mature student I took out a student account with NatWest that came with an annual railcard. I think the only bank now that has that perk is Santander but it could be an option.
