1. Can visitors to Britain buy the Senior Railcard?
Yes, provided you are 60 or over. You can buy it from a staffed rail station in England, Scotland or Wales. The Railcard can be bought at Gatwick Airport and Stansted Airport rail stations, Luton Airport Parkway and Manchester Airport – but NOT at London Heathrow Airport.
You will have to complete an application form, provide proof of age (a valid passport or driving licence), and payment. The Railcard will be issued for use straightaway and is normally valid for 12 months.
However you might also like to consider the BritRail Pass if visiting Britain. For details about BritRail please see www.raileurope.com.
2. What do I need to prove I am over 60?
If you're buying online, you will need a valid passport number or UK driving licence to verify you are 60 or over.
If you're applying for your first Railcard at a staffed train station, or a National Rail-licensed Travel Agent you'll need one of the following to prove your age:
- a birth certificate
- or a valid passport number
- or a valid UK driving licence
If you're renewing your Railcard then you'll need to complete the application form, and take your existing Railcard, which will automatically be accepted as proof of age.
