how strict are rail conducters with railcard photos

i recently purchased a digital 16-25 railcard from trainline. It said i needed a passport photo but i did not have one. i used a photo of me that is a very good likeness to my current self but i am a bit too far away from the camrea. Im sure its alright because i was allowed to buy the railcard using this photo. will rail conducters accept my railcard? and if they challenge me on it could i show some back up ID like my drivers licence?

They aren’t overly strict, they more time just want to see you have a railcard because so many people apply the discount without actually having the railcard. Most briefly glance and move on!
