Teen Railcards Now Last Full Year | Leeds News

Starting August 17, 18-year-olds can keep their 16-17 Saver railcard for a full year after purchase—no more expiring on their birthday. This means half-price train fares stay in reach, saving teens an average of £175 annually. Over 70,000 students previously missed out, losing hundreds each year. The £35 annual card now aligns with other railcards, helping young people afford education, work, or training. Rail industry and student groups applaud the move as fairer, more affordable travel—and it’s part of broader efforts to cut transport costs, including a new £2 bus fare cap coming next year.
