16-17 Saver

50% off rail fares for everyone aged 16 and 17

• The small print

  If you’re aged 16 or 17, you’re eligible.

  The 16-17 Saver is valid for one year or until your 18th birthday, whichever comes first.

  If you buy a Season ticket before your 16-17 Saver expires, you can keep using the season ticket for up to four months after the expiry. The two expiry dates are shown on your 16-17 Saver.

  You'll need to have the following when you apply:

  • evidence of age - a valid UK driving licence, passport or national ID card
  • a good quality digital passport-style photo of you
  • debit or credit card for payment. If you don't have any of the above forms of ID, you can upload a scan of your birth certificate or a Government-approved PASS card instead. Please note that applications using these forms of ID will take a little longer to process.

  If you experience any issues during your online application, you can call the railcard customer support team on 0345 301 1656 for help. They're available from 07:00 to 22:00 every day of the year (except Christmas day).
