Trains and the subway
Concessionary train travel
Some local councils offer over-60 and disabled people free or discounted train travel. Visit the National Rail Enquiries website to check if this is available in your area.
Only holders of National Entitlement Cards can get concessionary train travel. Visit Transport Scotland to find out how to apply.
Senior Railcard
With a Senior Railcard, anyone aged 60 or over can save a third on standard and first class train fares throughout Great Britain.
You can buy a Senior Railcard online or at mainline train stations.
Disabled Persons Railcard
If you have a disability that makes travelling by train difficult, you might qualify for the Disabled Persons Railcard. You'll get a third off most train fares throughout Great Britain. If you're travelling with an adult companion, they can get the same discount.
You can buy a Disabled Persons Railcard online or at mainline train stations.
Rail travel assistance for disabled passengers
Train companies usually arrange for staff to meet you at your departure station, accompany you to the train and see you safely on board.
Similar arrangements can be made at your destination station and other stations if you need to change trains. For example, ramps can be provided for wheelchair users.
