National Railcards can offer great value for money if you're travelling by train. Depending on your age and your situation, you can get one of the five existing railcards: Disabled persons, 16-25, Two together, Senior or Family and Friends railcards. Railcards can help you save money for your Derby Nottingham train ticket.

In order to understand the benefits of a railcard, you can evaluate how many trips you need to break even. You will see that usually only a few trips are needed.

Divide the railcard cost by the saving: £30/34%= £88. Now divide £88 by £8.11: £88/£8.11 = 10.85. It will take you about 11 trips from Nottingham to Derby (one way journey) with your railcard to break even.
