50 years ago today, the senior railcard was launched - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senior_Railcard

https://www.senior-railcard.co.uk/about-the-railcard/benefits/

Travel light with 1/3 off fares plus great deals on meals, days out and so much more with a Senior Railcard
 
A Senior Railcard costs just £35, which means it will have paid for itself after a couple of trips
Over a year, you could save an average of £96**
Save more even with a 3-year Railcard
 
The Senior Railcard also acts like a discount card where you can get great offers and deals, with discounts on food, museums and more! Whether you choose to share the spoils with your friends, a loved one, your children or your grandchildren is up to you (there’s also nothing wrong with treating yourself!). Take a look at our Offers and Competitions to see if there is anything that takes your fancy.

I have voted - but only once, as there was apparently only a one vote option.

I would have voted 'No - but I have in the past' if it had been an option.

We typically use the train for London trips and we have not been recently.  When I am next planning to go by rail I will renew it.

I get the 3 year version and renew accordingly.  The other half for some reason or another has purchased annually although this year has used Tesco Clubcard points to get one at a very reasonable price.

Just renewed mine, the last one ended at lockdown. Grandson has asked me to go with him to Falmouth where he has an interview at the University. It seemed to be the ideal time to renew it.
