Buy TicketsWhat is a Two Together Railcard?
A Two Together Railcard is a digital Railcard that allows two named adults to save one-third on eligible rail fares across the National Rail network when travelling together.
Despite sometimes being referred to as a couples railcard, it isn’t limited to couples. Many people share one with a sibling, close friend, flatmate or parent. The only requirement is that both named cardholders travel together for the entire journey whenever using the discount.
The railcard Two Together option can be used on a wide range of ticket types, including Off-Peak, Super Off-Peak, Anytime and Advance fares. It’s a practical choice for anyone who regularly travels with the same person and wants to reduce the cost of rail travel throughout the year.
How much is a Two Together Railcard and how can you save?
One of the reasons the Two Together Railcard remains so popular is its affordability: it costs just £35 for 12 months of savings. Split between two people, that’s only £17.50 each for a full year of discounted travel.
The Two Together Railcard discount gives both cardholders one-third off eligible fares whenever they travel together. Depending on how often you travel, the Railcard can often pay for itself after only a few journeys.
Many passengers look for railcard deals when planning days out, weekends away or regular visits to friends and family. Combining discounted fares with advance booking can help reduce travel costs even further.
While some travellers search for 2-for-1 train tickets, it’s worth noting that the Railcard works differently. Rather than giving one free ticket, both travellers receive one-third off eligible fares, which can provide substantial savings over the course of a year.
The 2 for 1 Railcard can be used on many national rail train tickets, making it useful well beyond the c2c network.
