They shouldn't get you any discounts anymore though. You need an NUS extra card which costs £10 to get discount.

Used to be a 60p bus fare anywhere for me when I was at college in 2003, but it might just be Northants I suppose.

i still use my college card (not my NUS) to get student discount in a variety of places, quite useful and much easier to fake
