How Do I Buy a Senior Railcard?

You can buy your Senior Railcard online or at a staffed station Ticket Office.

To buy your Senior Railcard online, simply click ‘Buy Now’ on the website homepage and follow the instructions on the screen. When buying your Senior Railcard, you will need one of the following:

A valid UK passport
A UK driving licence
A National Identity Card

You will also need a digital passport-style photo if you have selected ‘Digital’ under ‘Choose the type of Railcard you would like’ section.

Once your online payment has been processed you should receive an email confirmation and acknowledgement of your application number.

If you have purchased a plastic Senior Railcard, you should allow up to five working days for it to be delivered. You can choose to pay Special Delivery, but you will need to place your order before 15.45pm to guarantee that your Senior Railcard is delivered within two days (Monday to Thursday) or three days (Friday to Sunday).

Alternatively, if you have purchased a digital Senior Railcard, a download code will be sent to your registered email address, along with instructions on how to download your Senior Railcard.

You also have the option to visit any staffed station ticket office to apply in person. Again, you will need to provide a valid passport, UK driving licence or National Identity Card number to prove your date of birth.

How Much is a Senior Railcard?

The Senior Railcard costs just £30 as a one off payment. This means that after just a few trips, the card will have paid for itself.

Or, you can get a 3-year Senior Railcard for just £70, saving you £20 on the price of three 1-year Railcards.

How Do I Renew My Senior Railcard?

You can renew your Senior Railcard within 30 days of its expiry date. If the Railcard company has your email address, they will send you a reminder that your Senior Railcard is due for renewal so you don’t forget.

All you have to do to renew your Senior Railcard is follow the easy steps below:

Log in to your account
Click Renew next to the Railcard you wish to renew
Check all the details are correct
Pay, and you’re done!

If, when renewing your Senior Railcard, you need to update any of your personal details, you can do so by clicking on the appropriate ‘edit’ button on the review page.

If you didn’t purchase your Senior Railcard online, you can still renew it online. You will need to create an account and purchase a new Railcard using your UK driving licence, passport or National Identity Card.

However, you should still wait until your station-bought card has expired before purchasing so you don’t lose any validity.

Why Do I Need To Change My Senior Railcard Address?

It is essential that you complete your Senior Railcard change of address when moving home. Failing to update your Railcard details could result in a number of issues proving your identity when using your card to purchase discounted train tickets.

Forgetting to change your Senior Railcard address could also mean you end up missing out on important updates regarding your card, such as added discounts or renewal reminders.

Changing your address on your Senior Railcard will also ensure your personal information doesn’t enter the wrong hands. If a stranger gets hold of your name, address and date of birth, you could easily become a victim of identity fraud.

Can I Use My Senior Railcard On the London Underground?

Yes, if you’re a Senior Railcard holder, you can also register your card discount onto an Oyster card to get ⅓ off Oyster pay as you go single fares and daily caps on:

National Rail
London Underground
Docklands Light Railway services.

Can a Lost Senior Railcard Be Replaced?

Yes, you can easily replace a lost Senior Railcard. If you purchased your Senior Railcard online, simply go to ‘Manage my Railcard’ on the website homepage to log into your online account and apply for a replacement.

Once logged in, click on ‘Details’ under your active Senior Railcard, then click on ‘Replace Railcard (Lost or stolen)’.

How Long Does a Senior Railcard Last?

How long a Senior Railcard lasts depends on which type of Railcard you’ve purchased. If you’ve only purchased a 1-year Senior Railcard, it will last for one year before expiring. At this point you will need to renew your Railcard.

Alternatively, if you think you’ll continue to be taking train trips for the next couple of years to come, you might be better off getting a 3-year Senior Railcard for £40 more. This will last for three years before expiring and will save you £20 on the price of three 1-year Railcards.

When Should I Complete My Senior Railcard Address?

Ideally, you should aim to complete your Senior Railcard change of address at least 1 week prior to moving house. This way, it will leave plenty of time for your details to be updated before taking any trips on the train.

We understand that you will have a long to-do list when moving home, but it is essential that you remember to change your Senior Railcard address, as well as all your other account details.

For example, you will also need to notify your energy providers, TV licencing, your GP, and your Council Tax.
