User reviews

Dreadful

Purchasing the Senior Railcard was straightforward but adding it to my Railcard app was a nightmare! The process was not user friendly

Not working

Just had to pay full price for a ticket as my railcard didn’t work

Needs more work

I spent half an hour trying to get my newly purchased railcard onto the app. The code was rejected as invalid. Eventually - and with some trepidation - I deleted the app from my phone (it’s been on my phone for years) and then it all worked. Obviously not enough attention has been given to the updating process since deleting the app wasn’t mentioned, and it would be a problem if renewing before expiry date.

Worth It For Rail Travel

I found the whole process easy to complete. Just ensure you’re ready to take a selfie before you start. Pair it with your fav rail ticket app and you’re sorted.

Reduces costs

It really does make a difference to ticket costs especially longer intercity travel. Convenient and 3 year railcard even better
