Looking to buy a weekly season ticket for a 16-25 yr railcard holder, Taunton-Filton Abbey Wood.
On BR Fares when inputting for 16-25 railcard holder the only seasons that show are child season tickets for £46 odd. When looking without the 16-25 yr railcard the adult season of £93 odd shows. So:
1. what is the season ticket price for a 16-25 yr old railcard holder?
2. do adult rates for season tickets apply from 16yr old,
3. can students get reductions on seasons
4. if only travelling for 4 days would it be cheaper to just by anytime day returns

Thanks for any expert help.

You can't get a railcard discount on a season ticket, and the Adult rates apply when you hit 16.

There are some scholars season tickets - I don't know if they apply for this route. They are generally weekday only tickets.

If you're travelling 4 days/week you'll need to do the maths yourself; remember that the minimum 16-25 railcard fare is £12 between 04.30-10.00 on a weekday outside of July & August.

NB - there is no guarantee or requirement to provide such a ticket.
Sometimes the school must be the one closest to you or you need to be in the catchment area. I missed out on one of these tickets when I went to school as neither of these conditions applied to me. I was very particualrly jealous of a rival grammar school as they handed them out to nearly everyone.
