Rail Staff Leisure Card renewal for 2025/26

This news item only applies to holders of a Rail Staff Leisure Card (non-safeguarded employees). It does not apply to holders of a Staff Travel Card (safeguarded employees) who have continuous service in the rail industry since at least 31 March 1996 or holders of the RST Online Leisure Card.

Rail Staff Leisure Cards for employees, and eligible family members valid from 1 November 2025 to 31 October 2026 will be posted out starting on 7 October. Once the cards have been posted, we will e-mail you to let you know they are on the way.

Please allow at least two weeks for delivery. If cards have still not arrived by Monday 21 October, please e-mail Rail Staff Travel confirming the details of who is missing cards. Please do not e-mail us before this date.

Any e-mails received after 30 November 2025 reporting missing cards will incur a replacement fee.

Normally cards for all eligible family members will arrive in the same envelope. However, if you have only recently added a new family member to your record, or only recently submitted a Child Declaration, the cards may arrive in separate envelopes on different days.
