• A Railcard is a national scheme valid with all train providers, for an annual fee you receive a discount on all your travel and discounts with associated companies like theatre tickets.
• A railcard can also be used in conjunction with your Oyster card for London based discounted travel.
• When planning your journey by train always look at the potential to split your journey. For example you can buy a ticket from Colchester to Birmingham but you can also buy a ticket from Colchester to London then another from London to Birmingham. Same day, same train times and no need to get off the train, but potentially a lower price. You need to check that your chosen trains stop at the location you have chosen to split the tickets and you must check with the train provider that your tickets will be valid.
