16-25 railcard for students over 25

[Trainbike46]

The 16-25 railcard is available for students over 25, as is clear from this guidance National rail website

However, could someone buy such a railcard from the ticket office, showing their student card, or is getting the forms from the railcard website the only way to get a 16-25 railcard for mature students?

From the page you link:

If you are applying at a rail station please pick up a 16-25 Railcard leaflet and complete the mature student application section

You will also need to provide either a NUS card or a College/University photo-id card to confirm that you are in the current academic year of study.

The FAQ fails to mention that you also need to get your university/college to complete and stamp the mature students section of the form to buy one at a station.
