This little-known railcard deal could save you £167 on train travel

Make train travel a little cheaper with this hack - (iStock/The Independent)

Travel costs and train prices are at an all-time high, so I am always looking for ways to save money when booking journeys. Luckily there are several ways to make train and coach fares a little cheaper, with a railcard almost essential now.

It might not be the most glamorous of purchases, but in my opinion, a discounted railcard is a non-negotiable this Black Friday (ie the biggest sales event of the year) – reducing the cost of train travel all year round. A digital railcard can save you up to a third off eligible train journeys over the year, equating to an average of £167.
