Railcards can help you pay less for your Basingstoke Preston train ticket.

• When buying a railcard, you aim to break even after several journeys. But is it really profitable when travelling from Basingstoke to Preston? Use your calculator, considering:

  A = the cost of the railcard (i.e.: £30)

  B = average price cut with the railcard (i.e.: 34%)

  C = average cost for a Basingstoke Preston ticket (i.e.: £50.00)(1)

  The first step is to divide A by B: this will give you the budget from which the card will be efficient. You can now divide that number by C. It will give you the approximate number of journeys needed across the year to be profitable.

  In our example, A/B = £30/34% = £88.00. Then, 88/£50.00 = 1.76. Your railcard will be profitable if you're doing around 2 trips from Basingstoke to Preston (one way trip).

• All railcards cost £30 except the Disabled persons railcard for which you will pay £20. Railcards give you 34% off most adult fares, hence you will save 1/3 on most train tickets.
