Title: YHA member? 10% discount on FGW Off Peak and Super Off Peak
Post by: JayMac on April 05, 2011, 18:04:00
Holders of a Youth Hostel Association membership are entitled to a 10% discount on Standard Class Off Peak, Off Peak Day and Super Off Peak tickets when travelling wholly with FGW.

http://www.yha.org.uk/yha-membership/benefits-of-membership/index.aspx

I called FGW Customer Services to confirm that Off Peak Day tickets were also eligible as the YHA website doesn't make that clear. According to CS, discount is available from staffed stations and should also be programmed into Avantix for purchases onboard when travelling from an unmanned station. Cannot be used in conjunction with other discounts however.

One year's adult YHA membership is ^15.95.  Could be a worthwhile investment for semi-frequent rail travellers who are not eligible for any railcard.
