I don’t have a Disabled Persons Railcard can I still get a discount?

Some disabled passengers are automatically entitled to discounts so it may be worth checking this out before buying a railcard. 

The discounts are as follows:

  • 34% off First Class or Standard Anytime Single tickets
  • 50% off First Class or Standard Anytime Day Return tickets
  • 34% off First Class or Standard Anytime Return tickets 

You are entitled to these discounts if you are:

  • a wheelchair user staying in your wheelchair during the journey (the discount also applies to one person travelling with you); or 
  • visually impaired (blind or partially sighted) and travelling with one other person. You are not entitled to this discount if you are not travelling with anyone else. You must provide written evidence of your visual impairment to get the discount. 
  • Child wheelchair users are entitled to 75% off these tickets.

Please note:- in some cases it might be cheaper to buy a full-rate off-peak or advance ticket; and you cannot buy these tickets online or from ticket machines, only from ticket offices or conductors.
