Railcard ticket check abilities of inspectors

[Jdawg98]

Hi everyone, beyond the ticket itself being marked 16-25 railcard, how else would an inspector 'see' that people are travelling on a railcard ticket? When they scan the tickets, does this information come up on their display?

Simple answer - yes!

Or the scanner beeps a different beep to indicate a Railcard has been used

I think Northern's have a different beep as well? Certainly the little handheld device they use flashes a yellow warning up rather than a green "Valid" when a railcard ticket is scanned.
