So there's a sneaky trick you can do to save money on rail fares ... and that's to buy a Gold Card (Annual season ticket) for a journey that you will never make.
I caught up with Alex who lives nowhere near Lichfield in Staffordshire, and yet he has an Annual Gold Card between the two stations there as it's one of the cheapest that you can buy, and saves him 1/3 off other fares on the network - including Oyster fares in London!
Thanks to Alex at NationalRail.com for coming along to tell us about his Gold Card, and getting me 1/3 off my fare for the day! His website is here: [ Ссылка ]
