The National Bus Pass cannot be used for rail travel. However, the Partnership appreciate that many people in Devon use the rail network and has therefore taken up an offer by the Association of Train Operating Companies to provide Senior Rail Cards at a discounted price to older people in Devon.

In order to obtain a senior rail card through the Devon Concessionary Bus Travel Partnership, applicants must -

• Be a resident of Devon
• Be aged 60 years or over

The price of a senior rail card is -

• £20 for a 12 month pass (instead of £24)

The benefit of a senior rail card is -

• A third off most rail fares locally and nationwide

In order to obtain this special offer, please contact Devon Concessionary Bus Travel Partnership for an application form

If you are disabled you may be eligible for a * Disabled Persons Rail Card which also allows you to buy discounted rail tickets. If another adult is travelling with you, they can also travel at the same discounted fare. (The Railcard currently costs £18 for one year or £48 for three years).

*Please note that the Devon Concessionary Bus Travel office does not deal with applications for the Disabled Persons Railcard. For further information contact the Disabled Persons Railcard application helpline on 08456050525 or 08456010132 (textphone) for people with hearing difficulties.
