Veterans railcard validity for Rovers and Rangers

spyinthesky · 6 Oct 2022

As I am about to buy a three year veterans railcard I have noticed that it is missing from the discounts applicable to most of the above.
For £70 for three years I will still see significant benefits but a tadge disappointed that these fares are not included or am I missing something?

I think it's simply an omission in most cases, being as it's a (relatively) new Railcard and many of the Rover & Ranger information pages haven't been updated in years.

You can see whether the Veterans Railcard discount is available on a particular ticket/ranger/rover using BR Fares, e.g. here. You may find RailRover.org a useful site to find out the relevant code (as some of the abbreviated names are not very easy to search for!).

Thanks for that, I have found the ones I needed which seems to be exactly the ones that are omitted on NRE.
