Railcard Discounts Reduced by Train Operators

New fare adjustments will see railcard savings drop from 34% to 33.4%, affecting various passenger groups.

  • Discount reduction takes effect from September 15, impacting railcards for youth, seniors, families, disabled individuals, and veterans.
  • The move aims to boost fare income, which remains below pre-pandemic levels.
  • Critics argue the change is minor yet frustrating for passengers, calling it a 'step in the wrong direction.'
  • Some railcards still advertise the old 34% discount despite the upcoming change.
  • Calls for a northern network railcard to ensure fairer discounts across regions have been renewed.
