How do I renew my Network Railcard online?
It’s easy to renew your Network Railcard with Trainline. When you renew a Railcard with us, it’ll live on your phone in our app – accessible at the click of a button.
All you’ll need to get started is a valid form of ID, such as a UK driving license or passport. And if you don’t already have it, you’ll need to download our app. Don’t worry though – you can do that once you’ve started the renewal process. Please note that the minimum Operating System (OS) required to renew your Network Railcard is iOS 13.4 and above or Lollipop on Android.
It costs £30 to renew your Network Railcard, giving you a 1/3 off travel in London and the South-East of England for another year! Find out more about the Network Railcard.
How far in advance can I renew my Network Railcard?
If you renew online with us, your Network Railcard will become valid from the date of purchase onwards. As such, you can renew at any point before your current one expires, but it means there could be a period of overlap between your current Railcard and new Railcard. If you want to maximise value, make sure you renew as close to the date of expiry as possible.
Can I renew my Network Railcard after it expires?
Yes, absolutely. It doesn’t matter whether your old Railcard was purchased at a station or online – you can renew a Network Railcard with us at any point after your old one expires.
