For more information on concessionary rail travel schemes in Northern Ireland please see or the Republic of Ireland please see Otherwise, if ticket facilities were available at the station you could be charged the full price Standard Single fare. If this is the case you can buy your discounted ticket from on-train staff or at your destination station. You must carry your Railcard with you on any journey where you have bought discounted tickets with the Railcard. Discounted tickets are only valid if you are using them with a valid Railcard.

Easements are relaxations of Routeing Guide rules to allow journeys that strict adherence to the rules would forbid. Some previously published easements are no longer exceptions to Routeing Guide rules and have therefore been deleted as unnecessary. Easements may permit journeys which the Routeing Guide may otherwise forbid and must be consulted after the rest of the guide. For example, a ticket from London to Fishguard could be used to travel to Pembroke Dock or Milford Haven. In this instance you are correct and you should look up the permitted routes for Sheffield-Burnley and Burnley-Blackburn. Another scenario where doubling back is explicitly prohibited, is in the case of common routeing points, except where permitted by an easement or within a station group.

The first locomotive-hauled public railway opened in 1825, which was followed by an era of rapid expansion. Most of the track is managed by Network Rail, which in 2017 had a network of 15,811 kilometres of standard-gauge lines, of which 5,374 kilometres were electrified. In addition, some cities have separate metro, light rail and tram systems. There are also many private railways, which are primarily short lines for tourists. The main rail network is connected with that of continental Europe by the Channel Tunnel and High Speed 1, which fully opened in 1994 and 2007 respectively.
