If you’re a regular train user in the United Kingdom or frequently rely on services like the Heathrow Express, there’s currently a great deal on digital railcards available through Trainline. With this offer, you can easily make back the initial railcard fee, even if you only use the railcard a few times a year.
The deal, available for a limited time, allows you to purchase various digital railcards at a discounted price. To take advantage of this offer, visit the Trainline website and use the code ILOVETRAINS at checkout. The offer expires at 11:50 p.m. GMT on November 30 or when the discount code has been used 125,000 times, whichever comes first.
The following digital railcards are eligible for the discount:
1. 16-17 Saver – This railcard offers a 50% discount on adult fares.
2. 16-25 Railcard
3. 26-30 Railcard

To purchase the railcard, you’ll need to download the free Trainline app. Once you’ve bought the railcard via the Trainline website, it will appear as a digital railcard within the app, linked to your account.
The usual cost of a railcard is £30 ($36) for one year, with the option to purchase a three-year railcard for £70 ($85.33). By using the discount code, you’ll only pay £21 ($25.60) for a one-year railcard, saving you £9 ($10.97). For the three-year railcard, the cost will be £49 ($59.73), saving you £21 ($25.60).
To put this into perspective, a round-trip ticket on the Heathrow Express starts at £37 ($45.10). With most of the discounted railcards, you’ll receive a third off the fare, resulting in a saving of £13.07 ($15.93) on this journey alone. In just two round-trip Heathrow Express bookings, you’ll have already recouped the money spent on your railcard.
This deal is especially beneficial for frequent travelers or those who rely on U.K. trains for commuting or traveling to the airport. The savings can add up quickly and make a significant difference to your travel expenses.
Trainline’s discounted railcards offer a great opportunity to save money on train travel within the U.K. Acting fast is essential, as this deal won’t last forever. Take advantage of the offer now and enjoy discounted fares on your train journeys.
