Do I need to prove my eligibilty again if I am applying online?
A:
Not if you already hold a Senior Railcard that was issued by our online service.
If your current Railcard was issued at a rail station then you will need to give either a passport or driving licence number. You can do this by setting up an account by registering online and then following steps to link your station Railcard with the account.Please note: We recently changed the system that holds customers' data and some customers may be asked to resubmit their proof of eligibility and photo. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
