The Veterans Railcard is proud to support SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity. With a shared commitment to supporting the veteran community, this partnership reflects a dedication to helping veterans and their families stay connected and access the support they need in life post-service.
Research of almost 5,000 Veterans Railcard holders found that the majority of veterans (58%) would like to spend more time with their fellow ex-service personnel, highlighting just how important it is to nurture these relationships after leaving the forces.
By helping to reduce travel costs and making train travel more accessible, the Veterans Railcard supports SSAFA’s work, enabling veterans to stay connected, reach support networks and navigate life after service with greater ease.
The Veterans Railcard is available to veterans who have served at least one day in His Majesty’s Armed Forces. It saves 1/3 off most rail travel across Britain, helping veterans stay connected to the people and places that matter most. On average, Veterans Railcard holders save over £300 a year.
Recognising that connection plays a vital role when transitioning to civilian life, the Veterans Railcard helps make train journeys more affordable. Whether travelling to reunions with former comrades, accessing support networks, going to job interviews, visiting family and friends, or attending meaningful events, the Veterans Railcard supports veterans to maintain those essential links.
The Veterans Railcard costs £35 and it pays for itself in no time. It also benefits those closest to veterans, offering 1/3 off fares for an adult companion and 60% off fares for up to four children.
