Where can I purchase or renew my railcard?
You can purchase or renew your Railcard at the Travelchoice
Centre located in the Queensgate bus station. You
will need to fill in an application form, show proof of
age/disability, proof of residency in Peterborough and pay the
fee (cheques must be made payable to Peterborough City Council) in
order to obtain a Railcard or Railcard Voucher. Leaflets are also
available from these sites which have further details on the three
Railcards.
Young persons railcard
The Young Persons
Railcard is available to all Peterborough residents aged 16-25.
The cost of this Railcard is £21.50 as opposed to £26.00 if
purchased directly from the Railway Station and it entitles the
cardholder to a 1/3 off many rail tickets. An applicant must
provide proof of age and proof of residency (e.g. passport/driving
licence and a utility bill/mobile phone bill). The person will then
be issued with a voucher, which must be taken, along with a
passport size photograph and proof of age, to the Railway Station
where they will issue the applicant with a Young Person's Railcard
which is valid for 1 year.
Senior persons railcard
The Senior
Persons Railcard is available to all Peterborough
residents aged 60 and over. The cost of this railcard is £21.50 as

£16.20 as opposed to £18.00 if purchased directly from the Railway

which you will need to post to National Rail, along with your proof
of disability, and they will post your Railcard to you. We
recommend that you post your voucher recorded-delivery to the
