Do I have to be in a couple to use the Two Together Railcard?

Also known as the Couples Railcard, you might be surprised to hear that you don’t actually need to be in a couple to own one! You might choose to get one with your best friend, a family member or even a business partner.

As long as it’s the two named people on the card travelling together, and you’re both over 16, you can take advantage of great savings.
