I don live in Great Britain or receive UK disability benefits, can I apply for a Disabled Persons Railcard?
Unfortunately we do not have the resources or expertise to be able to validate documentation from outside the United Kingdom so we can only accept UK-based documentation as proof of eligibility. People from outside the UK are advised to find out about the Britrail Pass which gives excellent savings to visitors to Britain. As proof of age is the only requirement for the 16-25 Railcard and Senior Railcard both of these can be purchased over the counter at most staffed rail stations. Likewise the Family & Friends Railcard can be bought by people travelling with one or more child. If you do not have a railcard and are a wheelchair user or a visually-impaired person travelling with a companion you can get 1/3 off a range of day tickets through the concessionary fares scheme – see the “Travelling by rail” page on this website for more details.
