Yes you can buy it online, as long as you can provide an address in Britain. Alternatively, you can buy a Family & Friends Railcard at a staffed station ticket office or at a National Rail -licensed Travel Agent on arrival. The Railcard can also be bought at Gatwick Airport, Stansted Airport rail stations, Luton Airport Parkway and Manchester Airport – but NOT at London Heathrow Airport. You will have to complete an application form and provide payment. The Railcard will be issued for use straightaway and is valid for 12 months. Your Railcard will be accepted by all of the Train Companies who operate Passenger Railway Services except Eurostar. Special excursions and charters are also excluded. However you might also like to consider the BritRail Pass if visiting Britain. For details about BritRail please see www.raileurope.com.
