When buying a railcard, you aim to break even after several trips. But is it really profitable when taking the train from Manchester to Barnsley? 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 Manchester Barnsley ticket (i.e.: £27.53)(1)
