Discount Railcard Extended For People Aged Up To 30

The title of this post is the same as this article on the BBC.

It is probably a good idea if you are younger than thirty.

But what about all those people aged between thirty and sixty, when they are eligible for a Senior Railcard?

And especially those, who always travel alone!

A Marketing Success For UK Railways

This article on the Modern Railways web site reviews the first year of the Two Together Railcard. This is said.

The RDG says that the average cardholder has saved £127.48 on rail travel over the course of the year, including the £30 cost of the Railcard, a total saving of over £20 million.

Success is an overworked word, but this simple marketing promotion, seems to have been a big one.

I wonder how many other countries will copy this idea.
