BRUNEI: What is the HM Forces Railcard?

The HM Forces Railcard costs £21 and it'll save you 1/3 on most rail fares throughout Great Britain for a whole year. That works out to under £2 a month for huge savings. You're eligible if you're a member of the Regular Forces or Volunteer Reserves or a spouse/civil partner of a member, for more details see eligibility.

There are plenty of ways you can use your Railcard, for both long and short trips. Better still you can use it anytime on weekends, Public Holidays and during the week. The only restriction is that if you travel before 10am Monday to Friday (except during July and August) a minimum fare will apply.

To apply for your Railcard please see your Unit HR admin staff. The cost of the Railcard is deducted from your pay.

🌴 Living in Brunei: What Teens Wish They Knew

Moving to Brunei? Here's the real talk – straight from other teens who’ve been through it.

🏠 Military Life & Moving

• Life here moves fast – most families are posted for just 2-3 years. That means lots of hellos... and goodbyes.
• Friendships can feel a bit temporary. But you’ll also meet people from all over the world.
• Missing home is normal – the snacks, the weather, your mates. But it does get easier.
• Stay open to new people – you’re not the only one figuring it out.🏫 School
