Railcards.

I don't have one because I'm a lazy cunt and need one by Friday. Apparently you can get them at the station - does anyone know how long this takes? And when you book trains with a railcard do you need to supply some form of number to verify you actually have one?

The idea being I book a train claiming to have a railcard and buy one when I get to the station.

You buy the ticket with the discount, then the conductor will ask to see your Railcard when he inspects you ticket on the train. So as long as you have one by the time you take the journey, you're fine yeah.

It's not like the cinema or something when you have to enter you CEA reference to get a concession ticket or anything like that, just buy the ticket and then get the card before you get on the train.

You can just go to a staffed station with the documentation you need (see form or website) and get yourself a 1-year card on the spot. They'll sort the whole thing there and then, just as if you were getting a photocard for a season ticket. 3-year cards need to be sent away for, IIRC.

If you order online now it should arrive by friday. As another poster alluded to you can book railcard tickets without proving you own a valid card but ticket inspectors will expect you to show them a valid railcard on the journey.

About ten minutes. If you intend to buy one at the station, leave yourself plenty of time in case there's a queue, and remember to bring ID and a passport-sized photo.
