This just in May be of value to some
Is that for the free train tickets article?
If so, here is a direct link. Free trains in Spain for 2022: best itineraries - Lonely Planet
Thank you! It got lost in transit!
I’ve recently returned from 9 days in Spain and discovered that if you’re over 60 you can buy a discount card for just 6 euros which gives you a 25% discount on train journeys for a year, no matter which country you’re from
any idea where i can find info on this card i go to spain once or twice a year and haven’t seen anything about the discount on the ticket machines & firend who lives in madrid hasn’t mentioned anything like this to me ( although she’s only 59)
@Maggie and @Jilly I believe you just need to go to the ticket office of any train station in Spain and prove you’re over 60. I didn’t look into it too much but just logged it for future reference.
I’ve just googled it and found the following information which states the discount is 40%! Click on this for info:
Over-60s.
Yes, as per the link I included above which goes straight to the appropriate page and is in English
Thank you Smiley. Will check that out next time I’m there
The announced plan for free passes includes deposits that are refunded after taking enough journeys on a pass. That deposit, along with passes being specific to journeys between two stations, will mostly limit the bonus to regular commuters, I think.
