2. What do I do if my Railcard is lost, stolen or damaged?

Where the Railcard was purchased online, you must request a replacement online.  You can only apply for a replacement Railcard seven or more days after the date of original purchase.  A £5 administration fee will be payable. 

If you purchased elsewhere, provided you can produce the completed "Receipt" portion of your original application form, then application for replacement of a lost or damaged Railcard can be made at any staffed station ticket office.  A £5 administration fee will be payable.

However, if your Railcard has been stolen and you have obtained a crime reference number/documentation issued by the Police, then a free replacement will normally be made. Remember that you will also need to provide a new photo if replacement of the 16-25 Railcard Photocard is required.

Please note that you must pay the full fare, which is not refundable, until you have obtained a replacement Railcard.
