I’m not ready to face the reality of full price train fares.
I forgot my railcard expired and when I got checked the ticket guard – sorry Revenue Protection Officer – looked at me as if I committed a heinous crime. £100 fine plus full price fare.
Wouldn’t even engage in conversation. Twat.
I fucked up with my recent booking of a holiday in a couple of weeks’ time, my rail card expires the day before I travel back. Now I’m gonna have to renew it earlier than intended – I was hoping I could wait til December before renewing (because this will be my last 26-30 rail card).
isn’t it non valid if you aren’t within the age range regardless of when you buy it?
There’s no way of them knowing, so it really doesn’t matter. I don’t know a single 31 yr old without it
My friend went to renew her YPR in Leeds station and the woman behind the counter said she couldn’t as she wasn’t a young person any more. I’ll remember that smug smile as long as I live 🤣
I forgot and I’m kicking myself for some journeys later in the year.
Steve Buscemi is everywhere at the moment…Happy Gilmore 2, Wednesday and now Casual UK…
I’m eligible for a different Railcard. Having been away from the UK for a bit, it had expired.
Holy hell I’d forgotten just how expensive train tickets are without one!
Um, why isn’t there a 31-59 railcard?
I’ll be doing that in September.
My line is nationalising in July 2026. I know it’s unlikely to bring the fares down immediately, but I can hope lol.
