It provides one third off adult rail fares on the National Rail network in Great Britain with no time restrictions. If you're travelling with another adult, they will also get the same discount on their fare. The card costs \u00a320 for one year or \u00a354 for three years. Fill out a form at your local train station or complete a form on the <a title=\"DPRC\" href=\"https:\/\/www.disabledpersons-railcard.co.uk\/\">Disabled Persons Railcard<\/a> website. Alternative discounts are available for people with sight loss who do not wish to have a Disabled Persons Railcard. The discounts cover you and a companion. Further information, including the discount value and how to claim, can be found on the <a title=\"DPRC\" href=\"https:\/\/www.disabledpersons-railcard.co.uk\/using-your-railcard\/other-discounts\/\">Disabled Persons Railcard<\/a> website. <\/li>\n<li>If you live in Scotland, <\/b>you can get a National Entitlement Card for free travel. If the card has an eye symbol, you can travel free of charge on all standard class train services, by all operators, between stations within Scotland and as far as Carlisle and Berwick upon Tweed. However, companions are NOT included in this scheme. The card also covers local buses, ferry, underground and tram travel within Scotland. <a title=\"Transport Scotland\" href=\"https:\/\/www.transport.gov.scot\/concessionary-travel\/\">Transport Scotland<\/a> provides further information and advice on how to apply.  <\/li>\n<li>If you live in Northern Ireland<\/b>, you can get a SmartPass that entitles you to half-priced or even free travel on nearly all scheduled bus and rail services. You can also get a Disabled Persons Railcard for travelling in Great Britain. If you register your sight loss, you should be given the form automatically, or you can contact your Health and Social Services Trust. <\/li>\n<li>Regardless of where you live, you can also ask for assistance at railway stations to help you get about the station and get on and off your train.<\/li>\n<\/ul>","endNodeData":"","endNodeType":"","entry_object_ref":"http:\/\/api.transversal.com\/mfapi\/objectref\/EntryStore\/Entry\/http:\/\/www.metafaq.com\/mfapi\/Metafaq\/Clients\/rnib\/Modules\/money-benefits\/Topics\/concessions-discounts:3071819068:7","entry_ref":"3071819068","entry_ref_encrypted":"V69NFEFLE04QB13BE2J5AH6QV6","entry_uid":"avbqkzn5j67gcs2unodcxrodk2","label":"","question":"Train travel","choices":[]},"3071819069":{"ID":"Travel-DC_3","answer":"<h3>Cars<\/b><\/h3>\nBlue badge parking scheme (varies on where you live in the UK).<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/apply-blue-badge\">England and Wales<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bluebadgescotland.org\/\">Scotland<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nidirect.gov.uk\/articles\/about-blue-badge-parking-scheme\">Northern Ireland<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Taxis<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.londoncouncils.gov.uk\/services\/taxicard\/apply-taxicard-your-borough\">London Taxicard<\/a> gives you subsidised taxi travel around London<\/li>\n<li>If you live in Scotland<\/b> some councils administer their own taxi card for cheaper taxi travel, contact your Local Authority or visit the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.transportscotland.gov.uk\/node\/193\">Transport Scotland<\/a> website for more details.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nFurther information on available discounts and cheaper fares can be found on RNIB's <a title=\"Leisure and travel concessions\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rnib.org.uk\/living-with-sight-loss\/money-and-benefits\/leisure-and-travel-concessions\/\">Leisure and travel concessions<\/a> webpage.<\/p>","endNodeData":"","endNodeType":"","entry_object_ref":"http:\/\/api.transversal.com\/mfapi\/objectref\/EntryStore\/Entry\/http:\/\/www.metafaq.com\/mfapi\/Metafaq\/Clients\/rnib\/Modules\/money-benefits\/Topics\/concessions-discounts:3071819069:7","entry_ref":"3071819069","entry_ref_encrypted":"NTRHDUCN01KGLAAJIA8GHID3RG","entry_uid":"avbqkzw6adz6hem4oae3gnvcmk","label":"","question":"Cars and taxis","choices":[]},"3071819067":{"ID":"Travel-DC_1","answer":"<h2>Bus<\/h2>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>If you live in England<\/b> or Wales<\/b>, contact your local council for a free bus pass.<\/li>\n<li>If you live in Scotland<\/b>, you can get a National Entitlement Card that allows you free travel on local buses. <a title=\"Transport Scotland\" href=\"http:\/\/www.transport.gov.scot\/concessionary-travel\/\">Transport Scotland<\/a> provides further information and advice on how to apply.
