If you have a disability that makes travelling by train difficult, you may qualify for the Disabled Persons Railcard. The railcard allows you and an adult companion with you to get a third off most standard and first class fares throughout Great Britain. You can buy either a 1 year or a 3 year pass.
You must provide proof that you qualify for a railcard:
- Visual impairment
- Hearing impairment
- Epilepsy
- In receipt of a Disability Living Allowance (DLA) or Personal Independent Payment (PIP)
