What is a Two Together Railcard?
A railcard is a membership you pay for to get access to discounted train tickets. It’s a great investment because if you use your discount a few times, you can easily make your money back in savings.
A Two Together Railcard is a national railcard, meaning you can use it to travel with other train companies in the UK. It grants 1/3 off travel, but you’ll need to travel with the other cardholder for it to work.
How much is a Two Together Railcard?
It costs £35 for a one-year membership. It's essentially a 2 for 1 railcard so if you split the costs, that's £17.50 each!
What train tickets can I get a discount on?
You can get discounts on many fares across Great Britain, but you must travel together for the whole journey.
The minimum fare for Anytime Day Travelcards is £22.60. If your journey includes travel with a bus or ferry, the railcard discount may be smaller than 1/3.
Are there any time restrictions?
You cannot use the railcard before 09.30 on weekdays. There are no restrictions on weekends and bank holidays.
