Railcards for disabled children

Disabled children aged from 5 to 15 can apply for a railcard.

Children already get 50 percent off a train fare but the railcard will allow one carer travelling with a disabled child to get a third off their train fare.

Children may be eligible for a railcard if they:

  • Have a visual or hearing impairment
  • Have epilepsy and have frequent attacks
  • Receive Disability Living Allowance at the middle or high rate for care, and low or high rate for mobility
