From August 17, changes to the 16-17 Saver railcard will allow holders to continue receiving half-price train fares until the card expires, regardless of when they turn 18. Previously, the railcard expired on a passenger’s 18th birthday. DfT said the change will particularly help students, noting that more than 70,000 students each year lose out on an average of £175 due to the existing policy. National Rail has shared the railcards that you can buy to reduce your rail fares and how much they cost for a year and for three years, where applicable. 16-17 years old - £35 for one year16-25 - £35 for one year or £80 for three years26-30 - £35 for one yearDisabled Persons Railcard - £20 per year or £54 for three yearsFamily & Friends Railcard - £35 for one year or £80 for three yearsNetwork Railcard - £35 for one yearSenior Railcard - £35 for one year or £80 for three yearsTwo Together Railcard - £35 for one yearVeterans Railcard - £35 for one year or £80 for three yearsRail minister Lord Hendy claimed this “common sense change” is “exactly what passengers should expect from the railway”.
