Details

A Family & Friends Railcard costs £30 and it'll save you 1/3 on adult fares and 60% on kids’ fares throughout Great Britain for a whole year.

The discount applies to all Standard, Anytime, Off-Peak and Advance fares and what's more, up to four adults and four children can travel on one card, and they don't even need to be related.

The card can be issued in the name of two adults, so that when one named person can’t use it, the other one can, as long as there is at least one child over the age of five travelling. See our eligibility criteria for more information.

  • The only restriction is morning Peak time services, Monday to Friday (not including public holidays) when journeys are made wholly within the London and South East area.
