With a Two Together Railcard you can get a 1/3 off rail fares for you and the person you travel with most. If you regularly travel with a friend, partner or family member, this could be the option for you. And, if you split the initial cost of the Railcard, this one works out at the best value.
Together you can save on practical everyday journeys, fun day trips or exciting weekend breaks, as many times as you like. Get cheap train tickets and explore more with a Two Together Railcard.
Your Railcard doesn’t just save you money on travel either, it saves you money on days out, restaurants, hotels and more!
Who is it for?
- Two named people travelling together aged 16 or over.
How much does the Two Together Railcard cost?
- £30 for one year - that’s just £15 each for an entire 12 months! Both travellers must be over 16.
Do I have to be in a couple to use the Two Together Railcard?
Also known as the Couples Railcard, you might be surprised to hear that you don’t actually need to be in a couple to own one! You might choose to get one with your best friend, a family member or even a business partner.
As long as it’s the two named people on the card travelling together, and you’re both over 16, you can take advantage of great savings.

If you buy the Two Together Railcard online, the only things you need are:
- Two separate digital photos (one for each person named on the Railcard) saved to your computer
