Unizone student tickets

If you’re studying in or around Brighton or Worthing, the Unizone ticket gives you unlimited travel at a discount.

Can I get a Unizone ticket?

To qualify for a Unizone ticket you’ll need a valid 16-17 Saver or 16-25 railcard (please note we cannot accept the 26-30 railcard), and either:

Valid ID confirming that you are a student at:

  • University of Sussex
  • University of Chichester
  • Plumpton College
  • BHASVIC

Or:

  • A National Union of Students (NUS) Extra physical plastic card or a TOTUM physical plastic card (sorry we can't accept the digital TOTUM card), for a university or college in Sussex.

We can't accept your ID card, NUS Extra card or TOTUM card if it has expired or doesn't have an expiry date.


Who can get a 16-17 Saver?

You can get a 16-17 Saver if you are aged 16 or 17.

You can buy the 16-17 Saver online at www.16-17saver.co.uk.

Who can get a 16-25 Railcard?

You can get a 16-25 Railcard if you’re aged between 16 and 25, or you’re a mature student.

Mature students must:

  • Be attending a recognised college or university, for over 15 hours a week, at least 20 weeks a year. Unfortunately, Open University, distance learning and part-time courses do not qualify.
  • Have the mature student section of the 16-25 Railcard application form completed by your College or University.
  • Have an NUS card or College/University photocard as proof of identity.

You can buy the 16-25 Railcard online or at any staffed ticket office.

Please note: mature students should continue with a 16-25 Railcard, not a 26-30 Railcard.

Buying your Unizone ticket

You can buy weekly, monthly or quarterly Unizone tickets at any staffed ticket office at a station in the Unizone area. You can add days or weeks to your quarterly ticket to match your term dates.

Unizone is not available as an annual ticket.

You can’t buy Unizone tickets online, at ticket machines or on the train.
