Frequently asked questions
The current standard price for the railcard is £35 for one year. Prices are subject to annual review, but it remains one of the most cost-effective ways for duos to travel.
No. A common query is can you use a Two Together Railcard alone? Or can you use a Two Together Railcard on your own? The answer is no; both named cardholders must be present for the tickets to be valid. If one person is travelling alone, they will need to pay the full fare or use an individual railcard (like a 26-30 or Senior Railcard).
If you have a Two Together Railcard and one person is ill, the remaining person cannot use the railcard discount for that journey. The discount is only valid when both parties travel together.
Simply head to our tickets and discounts page, provide photos of both travellers, and pay the annual fee. You’ll receive your card instantly if you choose the digital version.
