| Nov 6, 2018 at 11:31 | comment | added | gerrit | @skifans The Isle of Wight is part of Great Britain: it includes islands, such as the Isle of Wight, Anglesey, the Isles of Scilly, the Hebrides and the island groups of Orkney and Shetland, that are part of England, Wales, or Scotland. It does not include the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands | |

| Nov 6, 2018 at 11:21 | comment | added | Muzer | @skifans "Great Britain" is often taken to be a semi-geographical, semi-political term that includes the main island plus smaller islands which are really politically indistinct from the main island (so the Isle of Wight, Anglesea, etc.) | |
| Nov 6, 2018 at 11:16 | comment | added | skifans | As with may things with UK trains there are always exceptions, while the UK is to broad a term for the area covered by a national railcard due to Northern Island. Grrat Britain is a too restrictive regions as railcards are valid on the Isle of White which is not part of Great Britain. There are also some local railcards valid in much smaller regions. | |

| Nov 6, 2018 at 11:06 | comment | added | gerrit | There are no UK railcards, the largest area covered by any railcard is Great Britain. | |
