Station search
The downloadable station reference contains 2,638 station names and three-letter CRS codes extracted from the Department for Transport NaPTAN rail-area feed, downloaded 6 October 2026. We select records marked active with rail-station type RLY and a three-letter code, remove the “Rail Station” suffix and deduplicate by code. The feed header’s modification date is 2025-05-25; download date does not mean every record was updated that day.
This is a reference for entering names, not proof a station is open or that a train operates between the selected points. Recent changes may be missing. Confirm with National Rail or the retailer. We do not infer running services from the station list. Metadata and source checksum are in the source record.

Calculators and comparison
Railcard estimate: eligible undiscounted spend multiplied by the chosen fraction, minus the card cost. Break-even spend: card cost divided by that fraction. The one-third adult model does not calculate mixed-family discounts, minimum fares or ticket rounding. Only include genuinely eligible spending over the same period.
Quote comparison adds each entered ticket cost and fee in pence. It labels the lowest entered total, including ties, and does not fetch or verify a fare. No live rail data, price search, timetable engine or cheapest-fare guarantee is provided.
Keeping it current
This is a dated source snapshot, not an automatically refreshed feed. Changes to stations, Railcard prices and terms need review and a new publication. Current booking links are untracked general searches, not API integrations or affiliate partnerships.
