Senior Railcard Promo Code

[Red Dragon]

I am shortly due to renew my Senior Railcard for 3 years and wondered whether anyone was aware of any current discount codes.

I've found SEN10 for a 10% discount on a 1 year Snr Railcard, but nothing for the 3 year version.

I don't think I've ever seen a discount code for a 3-year Railcard. There are a number of discount codes available for £3 off a 1-year Railcard. LEAFLET3 is the code on the current Senior Railcard leaflet, valid until 6 September 2015. There is a different code on the current poster at stations, perhaps POSTER3.

I've seen offers of £10 off a 1-year Family & Friends Railcard occasionally, but not for a Senior Railcard.

I wonder which type of Railcard is the most in circulation, and the most used. Wouldn't mind betting it's the Senior one, in line with the increasingly ageing population, who have the time for leisure travel in retirement. As a representative of this group, I'd suggest we don't need any encouragement to pay whatever the going rate is for our cards!

The other issue, of course, is deciding if one has a reasonable chance of lasting three years since one's executors can't claim for the unused portion.

Having just been given the unwelcome tidings of the big C, I only bought a 1 year Railcard the first time. Age has some disadvantages too.

I am now on a 3 year one, since the Grim Reaper seems to have turned his attention elsewh



















(for now at least).

16-25 is most popular, especially considering the millions Santander (and other banks) have issued to student account holders.

You had me worried with that unfinished sentence

I suppose the 3 year Snr Railcard is already discounted at £70 compared with the £30 for a one year.

The Grim Reaper came for me too at 52 years of age, and just missed, so I'm definitely going for another three year Railcard !

This was the case in 2014 when both my good lady wife and I took full advantage of the three-year Senior Railcard £70 offer available at that time, which is only available for online purchase.

My wife receives regular e-mails from their website, the last two of which featured the same £70 offer.

I've had similar troubles looking for money off on a three-year 16-25 before, I don't think they ever get discounted.

Thanks Paul
I've "Googled" it, and had a good rummage through various sites but I can't better the £70 either, so I'll renew online.

That's the conclusion I've come to too!

Agree on 16-25.

On the topic of Senior card holders, I wonder how many times a year the Grim Reaper catches trains?!

That scythe is not permitted as hand-luggage in a passenger compartment. Where separate luggage carrying space is provided (HSTs etc) then it can be carried if the sharp edges are safely protected.

Travelling with a hood up is not prohibited.
