HM Forces Railcards

I know this'll sound bone to some, but I've not had one of these in years. However, it transpires that I need to use the train next week and the fare will be over a tenner cheaper with a railcard. The other pi55er is that I'm on leave, so can't go to my own UPO, but I do live very near to RAF Wittering, where there will be (I assume) a couple of RN writers in the UPO there. Can any one of you fine people enlighten me as to how much one costs, and whether I can just get one from any UPO?

thanks in advance.

They cost £12.50

I'm sure they were only £3 when I last got one................

I don't know if you can go to Wittering and get one though

 

Thanks for that mate.

£12.50.....'kin hell!!

It's not really worth me bothering.

 

not unless you use the train quite often

 

The last one I got was free......

 

Goes up to £15 from 1st Nov 07..................

so if anyone wants one, don't forget to get it before then and save £2.50

 

Then phased out soon after supposedly - or that is what the RAO on this pongo base told me!

 

Squirrel,

You should be able to get it from any UPO (or Crab/Pongo) equivalent. My last two have been from non-naval establishments. A quick phone call in advance should sort you out. Although it has gone up its still a pretty good deal even if only make about 5 journeys a year. It works on the London underground as well.
