How to use a Half-time Railcard ?

Before getting on the train, fill in the card in capital letters, using indelible ink, giving the following details:

  • the day of the week (in full)
  • the date of the journey (day and month only).

Your journey destinations are pre-printed on the card. Return trips must be in chronological order and follow the numerical order shown on the card. Return journeys don't have to be made on the same day. Any empty lines will be invalidated as soon as the next line has been filled in.
