Using your Railcard
You can use your Senior Railcard for long and short trips at almost any time during the week and at weekends. The only restriction is for travel during the morning peak period, Monday to Friday (not including Public Holidays).
The times of morning off-peak services do vary by route, so it's best to check with ticket office staff before buying your tickets.
