A new railcard for military veterans will be launched in November, the Department for Transport has announced.
The railcard will extend cheaper train travel to more than 830,000 veterans who do not qualify for existing discounts.
Holders will be able to save a third off most train tickets, although certain restrictions will apply.
The card will be available to buy from November 11 – Armistice Day – and will cost £21 for an introductory period, before the price is increased to £30.
