Railcards

These are a great way to save on national rail travel. A railcard costs £30 for one year and give you 1/3 off train travel so if you use it a couple times you can make your money back quite quickly. Find out more about railcards.

We know planning a great school trip on a budget can be hard work. At Greater Anglia, we offer amazing value for children up to and including 18 years of age, when 10 or more people are travelling together.
