    I suppose that gives me something to look forward to.

    I still haven't come to terms with the fact that I can't get a "young person's railcard" any more because I am not a "young person" any more. And that has been a decade......

    Don't feel too disappointed.

    Student/young person's railcards (they changed while I was one) never worked in first class. I don't think they worked with season tickets either, certainly not peak-time commuter ones.

    Guess who contracted his way through uni in the 90s?

    At the risk of casting aspersions, Zeity must be in the same age-band. I can't remember exactly, but in space lizard years, it's a lot.

    When I was doing my mba a couple of years ago, I was really disappointed to find out that the student railcard is now the "young person's" railcard, so I couldn't get one.

    That's good. Does that 30% work on the First Class fares too?
