National Railcards can save you a lot if you're using the train.

Railcards can enable you to pay less for your Cambridge Blackpool train ticket.
What are the benefits of a railcard?
When buying a railcard, you aim to break even after several trips. But is it really profitable when taking the train from Cambridge to Blackpool? Use your calculator, taking into account:
A = the railcard cost (i.e.: £30)
B = average price cut with the railcard (i.e.: 34%)
C = average cost for a Cambridge Blackpool ticket (i.e.: £50.00)(1)
The first step is to divide A by B: this will show 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 trips needed across the year to start saving money.
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 Cambridge to Blackpool (one way journey).
How much do I need to pay for a railcard?
The cost to purchase a Disabled persons railcard is £20 while it will cost you £30 to get a 16-25, Two together, Family and Friends or the Senior railcard. All of them enable you to get a third off most train fares for a whole year.
