Can I get Student Discounts on Rail Travel?

Access to the Midlands and the wider UK is served by an extensive rail network from Coventry Train Station. We highly recommend you apply for the 16-25 Railcard which saves you 1/3^rd off the price of any rail ticket. If you are older than 25, do not worry. You can apply as a mature student. It costs only £30 for the whole year and is renewable if you are staying beyond a year. You can apply here.

Where can I buy train tickets?

Once you have got your Railcard, we recommend you use the Trainline ticketing platform to buy your ticket. You can download the app here and not only get tickets but also check timetables and updates.

REMEMBER!!! Before checking-out, make sure you include that you have a Railcard in order for your 1/3^rd discount to be applied. Also remember to carry your Railcard with you (whether physical or digital) as it will be checked on the train by the train conductor.
