Rail tickets

You must hold a valid ticket before travelling on the National Rail network.

However, if you cannot buy a ticket before travel due to an impairment, you will not have to pay more on the train or at your destination, than what you would have paid prior to getting on the train; including any applicable discount.

National Rail advise buying your ticket via www.nationalrail.co.uk before you request assistance to ensure you get the best value for money for your journey.
