Really complicated, it doesn’t get updated automatically and got stuck at the station; which could have been avoided

Terrible UI

The process for renewing or adding is so clunky!

It’s so handy having my railcard as it allows me to have some sort of life with the disability I suffer from and saves me £’s which is ALWAYS a bonus lobe my railcard

Wrong error message

I was buying a ticket this morning at Fenchurch St. and an error message came up… ‘ no photo’ on Senior Railcard. This Wasted my time. I thought the card had expired. It hasn’t and there is already a photo on it.
