Diabled Persons Railcard - discrimination?

Offline Bulrush 1 month ago

I have been diagnosed with cancer (NHL), which is classed as a disability.

I attempted to get a Disabled Persons Railcard but they said no as I do not meet their eligibility criteria.

This is surely a form of discrimination?

Welcome to the forum Bulrush although I'm sorry to hear you were unable to get a disabled persons railcard.

If you would like to make a complaint, it would be best to do this through the National Rail website.

Citizen's Advice should be able to offer you some advice on this as well.

I hope this helps Bulrush.

Kind regards,
