Can I buy a railcard from the train station instead of online?And will they make it there and then? Also, if I do just get it online, how long does it take to arrive
?
I'm not sure if this is in the right section or not
Sorry mods! I was unsure whether to put it in 'travel' or 'money and finance' or what

Short answer - yes, to both parts of your question.
You'll need to take ID with you and it would be a good idea to download and complete the application form in advance.

Re: Can I buy a railcard from the train station instead of online?Thank you very much! I should have just looked around a bit more myself! What does it mean by 'staffed station ticket office'? Could I, for example, get it from London Euston?(Original post by Illusionary)

Re: Can I buy a railcard from the train station instead of online?Some small stations don't have staff on duty at ticket offices; Euston definitely should be fine.(Original post by mel0n)

Re: Can I buy a railcard from the train station instead of online?It means a station with a ticket office that has people in it - basically anywhere that isn't tiny. Yes, Euston would fit the bill.(Original post by mel0n)
