Which railcards do GatEx accept?

The usual range (but not the Network Railcard).


Aye there's the rub then.


It's because they are a former InterCity operator. Out of interest -
and this will be relevant to me from July when my last YP runs out -
does it still apply that you can't use Network Railcard tickets on any
of the IC operators, or is GatEx the only one left?


I believe so - certainly they're valid on both Virgins, MML, FGW and
One.

You can only use Network Railcard tickets on GNER if it's the weekend
and you're travelling to Stevenage, but this is because of the weird
rule about Peterborough not being in the historic NSE area (even though
the likes of Milton Keynes and King's Lynn are) combined with the
tenner weekday minimum fare.
