Renew Time
24/03/26 23:13
Received an email a couple of days ago to warn me my Disability Railcard was about to expire. It was a no brainier to decide if it was worth getting again. I must have saved a few hundred pounds for the 54 quid it costs over the three years. Well worth it.
But it was bloody frightening to discover that I had first got a card three years ago. Feels more like two at the most, FFS. If there’s one thing I’d like to renew it is time itself. Anyone know who I can ask for time to be checked and recalibrated. Let us Renew Time!
I maybe should have chosen to update the photo on the card, but I didn’t take the opportunity, so I’m stuck with a ‘going through a fat phase’ photo of me—and one without a beard too. To be honest though when I am out and about on a train I’m rarely asked to show my card (a digital one) or often even show a ticket.
Feel like I need to book a train trip somewhere to use the benefit of the savings: one third off. One trip could pay for the card.
