The Network Railcard is a discount card introduced in 1986 by British Rail, upon the creation of their Network SouthEast sector in parts of Southern England. The card is intended to encourage leisure travel by rail by offering discounts for adults and accompanying children on a wide range of off-peak fares.
The 16-17 Saver was introduced in 2019 [3] in order to allow people aged 16 and 17 to access child fares, which are normally only available to children under 16. [4] The railcard costs £30.00 for a year (or until the holder's 18th birthday, whichever is sooner), [5] and offers up to 50% off rail fares, the same as child rate tickets.
Although NSE ceased to exist in 1994, the grouping of services that it defined before privatisation remain grouped by the Network Railcard, [7] which can be bought for £30 and which offers a 34% discount for adults and 60% discount for accompanying children after 10:00 on weekdays and all day at weekends (subject to a minimum weekday fare of £13).

The Railcard was launched nationally on 3 March 2014 [5] at a cost of £30.00, although for the first six months a 10% discount was given if it was bought online and a promotional code was quoted. [1] The Two Together Railcard was the first new Railcard scheme to be launched for more than 30 years. [6]

Introduced in 1974 on an experimental basis, under the name Student Card, and expanded into the Student Railcard later that year, it was the first of the many Railcards which formed part of British Rail's array of concessionary fare schemes, and which still exist on the post-privatisation railway network.
