Senior Railcard option doesn’t work!

For some reason the app does not allow me to add my Senior Railcard. I could add or remove any others (if I had them), but not this one. Seems a problem that should be fixed.

Caution altering purchase

Basket does not clear if you go back and change something so could have purchased £225 worth of tickets instead of £55.

Save card details

As other reviewers say, the Save My Card details option is not available meaning you have to type in the full card details each time. Please add this feature again and it’ll be a 5 star review.
