On 22 January, I announced that our new Veterans Railcard would be available from 11 November this year. Most railcards can be used across Great Britain and, given the interconnected nature of rail services, I have written to my counterparts in Wales and Scotland inviting them to work with me to ensure the Veteran\u2019s Railcard is accepted on services for which they are responsible. Passengers will be fully appraised of the railcard\u2019s validity before it goes live, and this will include how to apply and the detailed terms and conditions.<\/p>
