 There have been, and continue to be, many variations on the standard Railcard; and as well as the regular discounts, various short-term or seasonal offers have been available to Railcard holders.Many local government areas, such as Borough Councils and District Councils, either provide discounted Railcards to residents or offer their own area-specific version.The latter is unusual, although examples are known from the 1980s from the former Beverley Borough Council and Lancashire County Council, both valid on rail services only in those areas.
