It Works!
A client recently emailed us to say: “Thank you for sending the documentation – it worked! I received a Disabled Person’s Railcard and have used it for a trip to London and to book a sleeper on the Caledonian Express. It is a huge advantage over a Senior Railcard, saving about £200 for a return trip for my husband and me!”
Free bus pass and the National Trust Companion Card scheme:
In addition to being eligible for a Disabled Person’s Railcard, if you are registered as profoundly or severely deaf, you may also qualify for a free bus pass, offering even more accessible travel options. Moreover, the National Trust’s Essential Companion Card allows you to bring one or two carers or companions with you free of charge when visiting their properties. Simply present the card at entry for a seamless experience. Even without the card, you can still bring carers or companions free – the card just streamlines the process for you.
