Half-Price Rail Travel Extended to 18-Year-Olds as Railcard Rules Change
The Department for Transport will extend half-price rail travel to 18-year-olds from 17 August by making the 16-17 Saver railcard valid for a full year from purchase. The change addresses the average £175 annual penalty faced by over 70,000 students under the old age-based expiry rule.
