Rail Cards
FAMILIES RAILCARD:
We know that families love great days out, and we're now giving you an extra reason to have a great day out at the Epping Ongar Railway. Put simply, our new Family Railcard will give the holder 1/3rd off the price of our range of All Day Rover Tickets. It means that you can save money on a day out with the kids when you fancy a trip on a vintage bus and a steam train or on a wide range of our special events including our character appearance days. You will save money from day one and the more you use the card the more savings you make.
The Epping Ongar Railway Family Railcard is available for purchase throughout the UK. The Railcard is valid for a full year meaning that the savings just keep on coming. The cards are sold online and will be delivered to your door within a week.
LOCAL RESIDENTS RAILCARD:
Our Residents Railcard offers half price tickets to people who live in Epping, North Weald and Ongar (defined as people living in CM5 & CM16 postcodes) for a year. The discount is offered to the card holder and upto three other people travelling with that person. The cardholder must be an adult and purchase an adult ticket.
Validity
Your railcard is valid on all standard operating days and event days. It is not valid on our Halloween or Santa Specials or any of our evening services, with the exception of our Real Ale Trains (up to 4 adults on the Residents Card and 2 adults on the Family card - there are no discounts available for children on the Real Ale Trains). The card is valid for 12 months from the date of purchase and it is not transferable.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
You cannot currently purchase tickets online using your railcard. Our standard All Day Rover tickets can be purchased on the day from the bus conductor or from the ticket office. For character days and some other special events pre-booking is essential, and this can be done by calling the booking team on 01277 365200. Please have your railcard to hand as they will check the validity during the call.
