<p>We already require train operating companies to participate in certain approved
discount card schemes for young and student travellers, disabled passengers and those
over 60. The Senior Railcard offers anyone 60 years or over discounts on many fares
on the network and the Disabled persons railcard also entitles a carer 1/3 off their
rail fares when travelling with a person holding the railcard.</p><p> </p><p>We are
currently undertaking work with the Rail Delivery Group and Disabled Persons Transport
Advisory Committee to review the eligibility criteria of the Disabled Persons Railcard.
As part of this we will be examining how we can improve provisions for carers/support
workers or companions. The review is expected to be completed by the end of 2019.</p>
