Following feedback from education providers, students and parents, we’ve moved to a digital Education Season ticket, offering discounted train travel for eligible students.
It’s available for students and parents to buy quickly and easily on our app, 24/7. This reduces administration for schools, colleges and local authorities. The tickets are valid only on TfW operated rail services.
What discount will students get?
- 65% off train travel for students under 16
- 50% off train travel for students aged 16-18
These discounts are applicable off the price of a full-priced adult Season ticket.
Are you a student, parent or carer?
Education Season tickets are arranged through participating schools and educational institutions.
If you're a parent or carer interested in an Education Season ticket, please contact your school's administrator or transport coordinator in the first instance. They can advise whether they are signed up and send you a parent/student buying guide, created by TfW, that explains the process.
Please note that Transport for Wales can only set up and manage Education Season tickets directly with schools and educational institutions, so we are unable to process applications from individual parents, carers or students.
Are you an education provider or local authority?
We work closely with education providers and local authorities to make discounted rail travel available to students within their area.
Organisations already signed up will have been asked to:
- Register their interest
- Provide details of estimated student numbers
- Confirm the routes students will typically travel
Register your interest
If you're a school, college or local authority and would like to register your interest, please contact digitaltravelmanagementservices@tfw.wales.
