I'm sure this been answered before ... but it's not coming up obviously in searches for me ... [moderation team - feel free to combine threads if you find a prior thread that covers it!]

Groupsave + Senior (or other) railcard.   Are they mutually exclusive (so that a party of 4 seniors would do better to use Groupsave rather than use their / and one of their senior card(s), or can they be combined?

As far as I know they are mutually exclusive. You don't get an extra 30% if 4 Seniors buy a Group Save. You'd be paying practically nothing with an an extra 30% on the 50% you already  get with 4 for 2, If you have 5 or 6 people with a couple of Seniors the cheapest would be 4 for 2 for non Seniors and the Seniors to use their railcards.

There are no railcard discounts with GroupSave.

No further discounts (using Railcards, for example) are available for any of the passengers.
