The Apprentice Travelcard for 19 – 24 year olds
The Apprentice Travelcard means young people enrolled in apprenticeships can get half price on train travel across Merseyside when buying weekly and monthly Railpass tickets.
That means you could save hundreds of pounds*.
The Apprentice Travelcard is available for anyone aged between 19 – 24 living in the Liverpool City Region who’s currently enrolled on an approved apprenticeship with an Education and Skills funding agency.
How do I apply?
Applying is simple – read the FAQs below to check you’re eligible, complete the application form (don’t forget to get it signed by the right people!) and head to your local Merseytravel Centre. You’ll need to bring some documentation so we know who you are, as well as a passport sized photograph (no digital copies – sorry).
If everything’s in order, you’ll be given your Apprentice Travelcard there and then, and can buy your first half-price weekly or monthly Railpass ticket from any staffed Merseyrail station.
