Do they always check Railcard? A: Yes. You must show your valid Network Railcard (digital or plastic) when you buy your ticket and travel on the train. Failure to present a valid Railcard will mean you have to pay a full fare or you may on certain services be liable for a Penalty Fare.

If you travel regularly before 10:00am, then a weekly or monthly season ticket may be more appropriate, though you won't be able to get a Railcard discount.
