For that you would require NFM 95 (Jan-May 2007), and NFM 98 (Jan-May 2008).I believe the first time the CD-ROMs (a Windows based program called Avantix Traveller) of the fares database became publicly available was with NFM 98 (Jan-May 2008). So that one at least can be found online.Prior to that you may need to contact the Rail Delivery Group (formerly ATOC) for historical fares information, or maybe the National Railway Museum who may have the fares manuals in their archive.Here's a link to Avantix Traveller NFM 98 (Jan-May 2008). It's a zipped file of the program that requires extracting then running on a Windows based PC:NFM = National Fares Manual. These were paper based manuals originally.

Split into regions. In the early 2000s the fares manuals became available on computer to rail industry staff, with the paper manuals phased out in 2007. The first fully electronic manual was NFM 98.

Soon after, the electronic manuals became available to the public for a fee. More recently they have been available online at no charge from ATOC/RDG.« Last Edit: January 25, 2017, 08:21:53 am by bignosemac »Logged. Many thanks for the information, much appreciated. I downloaded the 2008 fares file but like earlier ones for which I have the CDs it wouldn't run on a Windows 10 machine. As I had managed to get the 'others' to run on an ancient XP based laptop I tried the 2008 one but hey ho, it won't run there either and seems to have access, somewhere in its bowels, to the 2011 data!Its not terribly important for me to have the 2008 data but if anyone out there could look up 7 fares for me it would be much appreciated. What I am after is the CDRs from Exmouth to each of the 7 stations up to and including Exeter Central.TJLogged.

( May 2019)There is no single 'discount railcard' available on the UK railway network. In addition to the large number and variety of short-term or localised promotional fares that have been available to passengers on the in recent decades (especially since ), there are many permanent concessionary fare schemes available to passengers. Some of these take the form of Railcards, which can be purchased by people who qualify according to the conditions, and which give discounts for all journeys over a period; other concessions are available for individual journeys.

In all cases, details of the type of concession will be printed on the passenger's travel ticket, to distinguish reduced-rate tickets from those sold at the standard full fare. Contents.Railcards Before the rail network was privatised, introduced several discount cards that were available to certain groups of people.

Various reasons are usually cited:. To encourage off-peak and leisure travel. To provide greater access to rail services for low-income groups, creating a social benefit. To generate new sources of income: certain groups of people may be encouraged to perform a modal switch to rail transport if given the benefit of cheaper faresAll of the schemes were retained after privatisation, despite some threats of abolition. By generating extra income at off-peak times when trains are generally less crowded, they offer a potential commercial benefit for the TOCs.Participation in the Young Persons, and schemes is mandatory for all TOCs under their franchise agreements; the Family and HM Forces Railcard schemes are notionally voluntary, but all TOCs participate in them. For the, which has a restricted geographical area, all TOCs in the relevant area are members of the scheme and participate in it. The revenue applicable to each TOC from the use of each Railcard is calculated by the (RDG), and voting rights and costs payable are attributed accordingly.7% of fare revenue is derived from travel using one of the Railcard schemes.

This amounts to approximately £400m, of which £60m is estimated by the RDG to be attributable entirely to the existence of the Railcards – if they were not available, journeys to a total value of £60m per year would not be made by rail. Approximately 2,200,000 Railcards are in use at any one time in Britain.

Comparison of Railcards Many passengers potentially qualify for more than one railcard (the potential for confusion has led to the ). The main differences between the main railcard types are summarised below, although the terms and conditions are detailed in each case, so potential passengers are advised to check the links for each:TypeCost (yearly)3-yr availableQualifying areaQualifying passenger(s)Qualifying timesDiscountMinimum fareLinkNotes£30no dataNetwork Railcard Area (broadly SE England)One adult, up to 3 accompanying adults and up to 4 childrenWeekends, Bank holidays, after 10am on Mon-Fri34%£13 (adults Mon-Fri); £1 (children, any time); £17 (Anytime Day Travelcards, any time)Child discounts at 60%. Young Persons Railcard issued in 2003.This railcard costs £30.00, and is available to anybody between the ages of 16 and 25 (inclusive) - a person may purchase one the day before their 26th birthday and use it up to their 27th. Also, full-time students aged 26 or above may buy one. (In this instance, a 'full-time student' is considered to be a person who studies at a ' recognised educational establishment' for at least 15 hours per week and 20 weeks per year, or a person who holds an.)The standard discount on the full adult fare is 34%, to the nearest £0.05; virtually all ticket types qualify for a discount. No discounts are available for accompanying children.

In addition, a minimum fare applies before 10:00 Monday to Friday; this used to be £8.00 for a single ticket and discounted returns, and £16.00 for full-price return ticket types. However, from 17 May 2009 the minimum fare changed to £12 regardless of whether it was a single or a return ticket bought.

Although most discounted tickets become available after 09:30, the minimum fare of £12 is still charged until 10:00. During July and August the minimum fare rule does not apply.

Tickets issued at the minimum fare bear the wording MIN.26-30 Railcard The 26-30 Railcard went on sale nationwide on 2 nd January 2019 and provides customers 1/3 off leisure journeys, by train, across Britain. It broke sales records when it was launched, with two Railcards being sold per second.In its first month, 125k people were able to save over £3.4m on their rail journeys, with the 26-30 Railcard being used for an average of 13,777 journeys per day.

Atoc National Fares Manual 2018

This amounted to customers covering 29,717,793 miles with their 26-30 Railcard, the equivalent of travelling 62 times to the moon and back. By the end of the second month after the launch, customers had saved over £10.5m on their rail journeys.Whilst the majority of 26-30 Railcard holders live in the London area and South East of England, some of the most popular locations travelled to include: London – Manchester, London – Cambridge, London – Birmingham, Milton Keynes – London and London – Bristol.The 26-30 Railcard is the first digital-only Railcard and is available to buy online. Once bought it can be downloaded to the Railcard app on a smartphone, so customers can start travelling and saving with it straight away. If their phone gets lost, or the battery dies, then customers can swap their Railcard onto another smartphone device.Senior Railcard. Main article:This railcard costs £30.00, and is available to anybody aged 60 or over. Applications must be supported by a valid, or confirming the applicant's age. Up to the early 1990s, up to four accompanying children could travel for £1.00 each, and the standard discount on the full adult fare was 50%.

The railcard was known at that time as the Senior Citizen Railcard. In 1992, however, the 'new' Senior Railcard was phased in; the standard discount became 34%, and there was no longer a discount for accompanying children. Again, not all ticket types qualify for a discount. Certain county councils or other local authorities subsidise Senior Railcards for their residents.Family and Friends Railcard (formerly Family Railcard). Main article:This railcard costs £30.00, and is available to anybody aged 16 or over. A second adult can be named as a co-holder. At least one adult (which must include one of the named holders) and one child must travel in order to receive the discounts, which are:.

Adult: 34% off the full adult fare. Child: 60% off the full child fare, subject to a minimum fare of £1.00The maximum group size is four adults and four children. One of the adults in the group must always be the cardholder (or the co-holder, in the case of a jointly-held railcard). Not all ticket types qualify for a discount.Network Railcard.

Recent version of the Network Railcard.This railcard was introduced in 1986, when was created. It gives a 34% discount on many (but again, not all) types of ticket within the Network SouthEast area. Similar to the Family Railcard, but without the requirement for a child to be travelling to obtain the discount, groups of up to four adults and four children may travel together and gain the following discounts:. Adult: 34% off the full adult fare, subject to a minimum fare of £13.00 per ticket issued or £14.80 for travelcards. There is no minimum fare at weekends, or on bank holidays except for Travelcards which are subject to a £5 minimum fare.

Child: 60% off the full child fare, subject to a minimum fare of £1.00 per ticket issued.There have been various changes to the Network Railcard's conditions since 1986, and as with the Senior Railcard, a previous version existed under a different name (the Network Card). The current version costs £30.Disabled Persons Railcard. Main article:This railcard was available in a one-year version for £14.00 until 5 September 2006 since then it has also been available in a 3-year version. As of June 2011 it currently costs:. Valid for one year; £20.00. Valid for three years; £54.00The qualification criteria also changed slightly at this date. Disabled Persons Railcards are not issued at National Rail stations; they must be applied for by post.

HM Forces Railcard These are available to all members of the regular armed forces, and in most cases the partners and dependent children of eligible members. Discounts for the railcard holder are generally 34% (subject to minimum fares), with Supersaver, Saver and Advance/SuperAdvance tickets discounted by 26%. Up to four accompanied children may travel at a 60% discount on the standard child fare, with a £1.00 minimum fare. HM Forces Railcards cost £19 and are distributed at a local level by the pay and administration offices at the member's unit.Two Together Railcard. Main article:The Two Together Railcard offers a discount of one-third on most off-peak tickets nationwide, for two named individuals travelling together. During its trial period, which lasted from 5 September 2011 until 19 May 2012, the main applicant for a Two Together Railcard must live within the West Midlands area (postcodes beginning B, CV, DY, WS or WV).In early 2014 National Rail began advertising the Two Together Railcard on posters at railway stations in central London.

The Two Together Railcard was launched nationally on Monday 3 March 2014.Local railcards The Network Railcard is the main example of a local railcard, but various others are available in much more localised areas, or even for a single line. In many cases, adult tickets are issued with the status code LOCRC ( Local Rail card); child tickets show CHLOC. However, some of the Railcards have unique status codes assigned to them.Cambrian Railcard This costs £10.00 for a year. Cardholders must be aged 16 or over, no co-holders can be named, and there are no discounts for accompanying adults or children.

A discount of 34% is available on Day Singles, Off-Peak Day Returns (formerly called 'Cheap Day Returns'), Super Off-Peak (formerly 'Supersaver') tickets on the between Shrewsbury, Aberystwyth, Machynlleth and Pwllheli. The Railcard can only be purchased at Aberystwyth and Machynlleth stations, and is only available to residents of the area.Cotswold Line Railcard This costs £7.50 for a year, and gives 34% discounts on Standard Day singles and Off-Peak Day singles (formerly 'Cheap Day singles') and returns between and (and intermediate stops). Cardholders must be aged 16 or over, no co-holders can be named, and there are no discounts for accompanying adults or children. The Railcard can be bought at any staffed station on the route. The discount is not available until the 08.44 train from Worcester and the 08.48 train from Oxford on weekdays, but there are no weekend restrictions. Dales Railcard This was introduced in 1995, and after a trial period until 31 August 1995 when the price was set at £5.00, the cost settled at £10.00 per year for a number of years. There was a subsequent increase to £12.00 per year, but during 2007 a discounted price of £10.00 applies.

The Railcard gives a discount of 34% on all Standard Day, Cheap Day and Saver tickets within the region of validity. This complex area covers:. All journeys between the following stations (inclusive):, and. Journeys from all of these stations to all stations on the routes to Morecambe, Bradford Forster Square and Leeds (inclusive) - but not via Penrith. Journeys from Skipton to all stations on the routes to Morecambe and Brampton (inclusive) - but not via PenrithCardholders must be aged 16 or over, and no co-holders can be named, but up to four accompanied children can travel at a 60% discount on the standard child fare (subject to a £1.00 minimum fare).

(In the early years, up to two children could travel for a flat fare of £2.00.) Only residents in certain postcode areas within the region of validity may apply; however, an arrangement between the user group and train operator allows members of the group to buy a 'Gold Card' (a plastic with an chip, rather than a printed paper card) giving them the same benefits as the railcard. This card costs £12.00. Devon & Cornwall Railcard This railcard, covering the counties of and, was introduced on 10 September 2006 to replace two Railcards which covered the counties separately: the Devon Railcard and the Cornish Railcard. It gives discounts for the holder (who must be aged 16 or over) and one accompanying adult of 34% on Cheap Day and Saver Singles and Returns for journeys wholly within the two counties, and 34% on the countywide Devon Day Ranger and Cornwall Day Ranger tickets, and line-specific Rangers for the following:,. The only exception is the Day Ranger, which is discounted by 50% when the Railcard is used.

Up to four children can accompany the adult(s) for a flat fare of £1.00 each for point-to-point tickets, or £2.00 for Day Rangers. While the array of discounts is broadly the same as those available with the Devon Railcard, the former Cornish Railcard offered 34% discounts on Standard Day Singles and Returns as well. These tickets were available for travel during the peak period (before 9.30am).

This change prompted criticism that people who travelled frequently but not daily at peak times in Cornwall would have to pay more: although all season tickets for journeys within Cornwall were reduced in price from 10 September 2006, they are only cost-effective for regular travellers (four or five weekdays per week).The original Cornish Railcard was one of the earliest examples of a local railcard, having been introduced on 4 November 1983. It originally cost £6.00 for adults, and there was a child version priced at £3.00. All journeys wholly within Cornwall (First and Second Class) were charged at half price, as were returns to, just across the border into Devon. Some other offers for travel outside Cornwall were included until May 1984, at which point the Railcard was halved in price. By 1986, a 50% discount was only available on Cheap Day Returns; all other tickets received a 34% discount. Reduced-rate Seven Day Season Tickets could also now be bought by Railcard holders.

Also, the price had increased to £7.00 (adults) and £3.50 (children). By 1989, another major change had taken place: only Cornwall residents could buy the Railcard; a Photocard (photographic identity card) was required; the Child version was withdrawn; Cheap Day Return discounts had been cut to 34%; the (–) was included in its entirety, although parts of it lie within Devon; and the design of the APTIS card (British Rail form number BR 4599/77) had changed significantly, now incorporating a stylised map of the Cornish peninsula and the railway lines serving the county.

Esk Valley Railcard This costs £12.00 per year, and gives a discount of 34% on all Standard Day, Cheap Day and Saver tickets in the area of validity. This covers journeys between and inclusive, and also for journeys from these stations to the other stations on the line -,. The 34% discount, and accompanying child discount (again subject to the £1.00 minimum fare), is also available on the Tees Day Ranger ticket, which offers unlimited journeys on the route in one day; and on return tickets on the, a running from to. Cardholders must be aged 16 or over, and no co-holders can be named, but up to four accompanied children can travel at a 60% discount on the standard Child fare (subject to a £1.00 minimum fare).

The Railcard is only available to residents living in the boroughs of, and and the, and districts of. All revenue raised through the sale of these Railcards is used by the Esk Valley Railway Development Company, a which runs the line as a 'Community Railway', to maintain and improve the line. Heart of Wales Line Railcard Introduced in May 2000, this costs £5.00 for one year, and is available to residents aged 16 or over of certain postal districts along the line of the route, which runs from to. A 34% discount is available on all fares for journeys between any two stations on the route.

Up to two children can accompany the cardholder for a flat fare of £2.00. The Railcard may be purchased at, or by postal application.

The scheme was relaunched and extended on 29 September 2005. Highland Railcard This costs £7.50 per year, and is available to applicants aged 16 or over who live in certain areas of the north and west - principally the IV and KW postal districts. A Gold Card Partner's Card.Between 12 May 1985 and 8 October 1988, holders of Annual Season Tickets could buy an Annual Season Ticket Holder's Railcard which gave a 50% discount on Cheap Day Return fares and 34% off Saver tickets for journeys throughout the British Rail network. Discounted tickets were issued with the status code AST-H. Up to four children could travel with the Railcard holder for £1.00 each; their tickets were printed with status code CHAST. Discounted Cheap Day Returns could not be bought on Fridays.From September 1987, more than 12 months before the Annual Season Ticket Holder's Railcard was discontinued, a similar scheme began in the area of London and southeast England. Annual season tickets issued for journeys within this area became known as Gold Cards, and the season ticket functioned as a Railcard giving various benefits which were broadly the same as those received by holders of the former Network Card: 34% discounts for themselves and up to three accompanying adults on most off-peak fares, £1.00 flat-fare tickets for children, and First Class Supplement upgrades.

The same time restriction (after 10.00am on weekdays; all day at weekends and on public holidays) also applied. When a Gold Card holder is travelling on the route covered by their Gold Card with accompanying adults or children, a separate discounted ticket does not have to be purchased by the Gold Card holder in order to secure the relevant discounts for the other members of the group.As of 2007, these discounts are still available. When the Network Card changed to the more restrictive 'Network Railcard' format, with children receiving a 60% discount subject to a minimum £1.00 fare (rather than a £1.00 flat fare in all cases) and adults being subject to a £10.00 minimum fare on weekdays, the Gold Card's conditions remained the same as before, and have not changed since.

First Class Supplement tickets for Gold Card holders costing £5.00 for adults and £3.00 for accompanying children were abolished from 2016, in lieu of which the Gold Card discount became available on first class tickets. At that time, the discounts became available from 09:30 instead of 10:00 on weekdays, the area of operation extended well into the West Midlands, and Virgin Trains and Virgin Trains East Coast (now LNER) withdrew from accepting Gold Card discounts. CrossCountry continues to accept them based on the old area, with a northern limit of Banbury.A card giving the same benefits, usually known as the Partner's Card but officially named Gold Card Partner's Network Card, is also available.

Initially, Gold Card holders could have a free Network Card issued to them on behalf of a friend, relative or partner; but from 8 January 1989, the new Partner's Card (on dedicated APTIS ticket stock, form number BR 4599/69) was issued instead, at a cost of £1.00. A relative or friend of the Gold Card holder could be nominated, and the Partner's Card could be used independently of the Gold Card—the two cardholders did not have to travel together.

The First Class Supplement benefit was withdrawn from Partner's Cards at the same time as from Network Railcards. The card issued to the partner was later made once again a Network Railcard costing £1 and subject to the substantial minimum fare rule. This arrangement was eventually abolished in 2016; Gold Card holders may now purchase a 16-25 Railcard, Two Together Railcard, Disabled Person's Railcard, Senior Railcard, Network Railcard, or Family & Friends Railcard for themselves or anyone else for £10 by presenting the relevant application form and the Gold Card or Gold Record Card at a station in the Gold Card area.Following the introduction of the Gold Card and the Partner's Card, a new status code was introduced for tickets issued with these: GOLDC for adult tickets, with child tickets showing CHNGC. GOLD was occasionally seen on adult tickets in 1990.A traveller purchasing an annual loaded on an is issued a 'Gold Record Card' when the ticket is sold (or by post for tickets issued online or by telesales). The Gold Record Card can be used to access Gold Card discounts in the same way as a Gold Card annual season ticket issued by train operating companies.New Deal Photocard The, through its executive agency (formerly the Employment Service), administered a scheme whereby unemployed people can gain discounts of 50% on a wide range of travel and Season tickets. This was intended to assist them in their search for employment, although they can be used for discounts on leisure journeys as well. The Employment Service authorised and issued the cards, which were valid for three months at a time.

Discounts were available on all Standard class travel tickets within England and Wales, Peak and Off Peak One Day, Seven Day Season Tickets and Travelcards, and Longer Period (one month and more) Season Tickets and Travelcards, subject to the validity of the Photocard. There were no discounts for First Class tickets. The scheme was introduced in 1998, with Photocards being issued from 24 May 1998. The scheme was initially run on a trial basis, but is now finished since the introduction of the UK Government's Work Programme.

It was governed by an agreement between ATOC and Jobcentre Plus, which was last renewed in 2002. By July 2000, 54,000 New Deal Photocards had been issued.There is a separate scheme in Scotland. Photocards are issued for periods of up to six months, but discounts are only available on seven day season tickets for journeys wholly within Scotland. JobCentres themselves also sell certain Standard Day Return tickets for Scottish journeys, again at a 50% discount. These arrangements began on 6 April 1998.Campaign for a National Railcard Railfuture, an independent pressure group for rail users, has been campaigning for a number of years for a National Railcard to replace the plethora of different railcards. Such a card would take a similar form to 's in Germany.

A study undertaken jointly by and the Rail Passengers Council (now known as ) in April 2003 suggested that three million people would buy such a Railcard for £20.00 if it gave a one third discount on off-peak fares. The 'most conservative forecast' indicated that 2.7 million people would buy a card at this price and with this discount, increasing passenger mileage per annum by 11% and rail industry profits by £50 million. The combination was found to be a price of £30.00 and a 50% discount on off-peak fares; passenger mileage would rise by an estimated 25% and profits would increase by £70 million. All Railfuture reports, including, are available.Children At all times, up to two children under the age of five may travel free of charge with an accompanying adult, and do not require a ticket (but see the article for one exception to this). Children between the ages of 5 and 15 (inclusive) travel at half of the standard adult fare.

(Full adult fare for journeys are almost always in multiples of £0.10; in the rare instances where the adult fare is a multiple of £0.05, the Child fare will be rounded up to the nearest £0.05.)On tickets issued for children, the wording CHILD will appear in the 'concessions' (status code) field of the ticket(s).Children can gain further reductions by travelling with adults who are using certain Railcards, or adults travelling on certain other concessionary tickets.GroupSave Since 1999, many have elected to join this -administered scheme. Originally for three or four adults travelling for the price of two with up to four accompanying children at £1.00 each, the concessionary product was modified in 2014 to allow between three and nine adults and children to travel at 34% discount off the adult fare. The group must travel together at all times. No further discounts (using Railcards, for example) are available for any of the passengers.Tickets are issued for adults with the status code GPS-3. Children can travel on adult tickets where this is necessary to bring a group up to the minimum requirement for the concession. There are no Groupsave discounts available on child fares. An alternative for TOCs is to use their own child flat fares where available in combination with adult GroupSave to offer discounts to mixed groups.At first, the scheme applied only in the London and South East (former ) area; but from January 2006, it was extended to cover Train Operating Companies (TOCs) outside this area.

In addition, some TOCs allow children to be 'upgraded' to adults to benefit from GroupSave when two adults travel with a child.The describes the scheme in the London and South East (former ) area, where it duplicates the Network Railcard's function to some extent.Accompanied animals and articles All quotations and statistics in this section are taken from the May 1991 edition (No. 6) of the Ticket Examiners' Handbook, produced by the British Railways Board.The made detailed provisions for the carriage of large and/or heavy items, pets and similar, and specific fare ranges and ticket status codes were set up within the and ticket issuing systems for these. In the later British Rail era, articles could be carried free of charge subject to the following conditions:. Weight: not to exceed 154 lb (First Class) or 110 lb (Standard Class).
