Want to save money on train tickets? Here's how to do it!

Pirates, we've heard back from you asking for more deals on train tickets. Here we go! Trainline has a sale on at the moment where you can save up to 33% on digital railcards.

All new railcards cost £30 for one year -- so with this sale you'll get £9.90 off. With your railcard, you'll then be able to save one third on your train ticket price. In some cases, it's worth buying the railcard just for one journey.

Railcards - who are they for?

Trainline's railcards are a good option for regular train users, as they offer you a third off the price of tickets. They are also kept on an app - stopping you from worrying about losing a physical railcard.

Which options do you have?

There are seven types of UK Railcards available with Trainline:

• Network Railcard

• 16-17 Saver

• 16-25 Railcard

• 26-30 Railcard

• Family & Friends Railcard

• Two Together Railcard

• Senior Railcard

When can you use a Railcard?

It depends on the type of Railcard you have. Generally, all Railcards can be used for discounted train fares during Off-Peak times, weekends, and public holidays. Some, like the age-related railcards, can be used during peak times with a minimum fare.

How does it work?

To use the discount code, you must have, or create a Trainline account.

Have your ID details ready (passport, drivers liscence, EEA National Identity card), as you'll need that to create the digital railcard.

There's an easy step-by-step guide on the Trainline website (scroll down) on how to create an account on your phone.
