I presume you're new on the forum, so welcome! Firstly, can I just encourage you to use a bit of punctuation? It makes the place much tidier and makes posts easier to read.

Secondly, to answer your question, the railcard was renamed the 16-25 railcard a few months back, and you should be able to buy one up until the day of your 26th birthday.

In addition to the above, you are eligible at any age over 26 if you are in full-time education (over 15 hrs/wk for at least 20 weeks per year) and have evidence to support this (ISIC card, etc.)

Thanks i just thought that you cant get one after you turned 25.

I must add that you can get a Disabled Persons Railcard if you qualify, and there is a list on the website that states who can apply. It's quite extensive in practice and not restricted in any way to those in a wheelchair say.

My tip is to buy your railcard the day before you turn 26, you'll still be able to use it for a whole additional year!
