Top Tip from Persia-Lili Moharerr, our Student Discount Money-Saving Editor:

"As someone who takes the train frequently, investing in a Railcard was one of the best money-saving decisions I have ever made! As a student, I invested in the 16-25 Railcard which made my visits to and from Uni and home that much more affordable. It only cost £30 for the whole year, and what's great is that you can redeem that cost back in as little as three train journeys - which I think is great value for money! I've now switched to the 26-30 railcard, which I use a couple of times a week when commuting to work. It still cost me the same £30, and what's great about this specific railcard - it's digital only so there's no waiting around for the physical card to arrive in the post - it's easily accesible on your phone to have on you at all times!
