Major Railcard discount available this month and customers are calling it 'amazing'

Rail website Trainline is offering a major discount on Railcards — but you will have to be quick if you want to take advantage of the "amazing" offer.

The train site is allowing shoppers to pick up a digital Railcard for 33% less, but the discount is only available for a limited time.

Once 300,000 Railcards are sold at the discounted price, or on February 28 — whichever comes first — the offer will end.

A range of Railcards are available to purchase on the site, catering to different people depending on their age and whether they travel alone or with other people.

The 16-25, 26-30, and 60+ Railcards are aimed at people within those ages who usually travel solo, and there are also Two Together Railcards and Family & Friends Railcards for larger groups.

Those looking to take advantage of the deal need to input the code '33YESPLEASE' to get 33% off the price of their Railcard.

One keen-eyed customer who spotted the deal was quick to share the news on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group.

They wrote: "33% off Railcards with Trainline. 1 year is £20, 3 years for £47. Code - 33YESPLEASE".

Before long, the post had amassed over 450 likes and almost 2,000 comments from fellow consumers sharing their thoughts.

One wrote: "Seems like an absolute amazing deal".

A second said: "Thank you just ordered it".

A third shared: "Fantastic! Just got the two together one!"

"That’s bloody good isn’t it," another enthusiastic member posted.

Meanwhile one frustrated Facebook user commented: "I've just renewed mine. How annoying"

Some Facebook users between the age of 30 and 60 who travel alone were unhappy that no Railcards were available to them.

One stated: "Just rubbish there's nothing for the middle age folk!"

"No good for me I do not have kids or partner," vented a second.
