Yes, it would be all legit. Sorry also just realised its correct name is the Two Together Railcard

I don't think there will be many advances left on the Birmingham to Glasgow route for next week - but it's worth checking.

If you need to use walk-up tickets, I can't do better than a £14.70 saving per person (and these prices EXCLUDE any railcard discount) with the tickets below - but you may think that the hassle isn't worth it, and remember that your train needs to stop at all stations in both directions. For two people - double the cost, obviously.
