Hi, i was just curious whether anyone knew if there is a way i could use my UK student railcard to get a discount on my interrail ticket, as this would save me a lot of money! Are there maybe even some others sites apart from that will let me use a student railcard?
Thanks,

Hi Simon,

Alas, the only interrail discount is for persons under 26. Most students are, so that's kind of how they solved it.

just look at the ticket shop on the website:
[ux]https://rail.shop/interrail[/ux]

you can buy either adult first of 2nd class or the YOUTH ticket which is obviously the cheap one for under 26s. all come in the variety of time lengths eg 1 month or 10 days in 22 days etc.

This is correct:
The [b]YOUTH InterRail[/b] passes for persons [b]under the age of 26[/b].
The [b]ADULT InterRail[/b] passes for persons aged 26 and over.

There is the possibility to get an international student ID card (www.isic.org). But check their website first, where you will get discounts and if it is worth for you. you won't get discounts at hostels if you are student.
