Rail Discount? (over 30)
Hi!
I'm out of range for the millennial railcard, however will be starting a Masters course this year and will be needing to use the train quite a lot - with the train prices in the uk extortionate...
Does anyone know if you're entitled to some other form of student discount with Trainline / National Rail once you become a student again?
The only information I can find is discounts regarding age.
Any info much appreciated!

OK, but I don't think there's that much difference between the railcards. The main aim is to get 1/3 discount off your rail fare during off peak periods, so pretty much any railcard should suffice.
See the following:

If you want to compare the savings from the 26-30 and 16:25, see the following:

Mature students can get a 16-25 railcard, even though they're over 25. See https://www.16-25railcard.co.uk/using-your-railcard/are-you-eligible/
The process is a bit more complicated as you need to prove you're a current student on an appropriate course, rather than just needing to prove your age.
