Children aged between 5 and 15
There are a number of discounted child fares available. The total fare quoted on the booking pages are with discounts already included (where applicable). Click on the ticket name on the left-hand side of the page to see if it is a discounted ticket. If the child looks over the age of 16, it maybe appropriate for proof of age to be carried when travelling to avoid embarrassment.
One of the cheapest ways to purchase a child's fare is by using a Family Railcard. This gives a 33% discount on adult fares and a 60% discount on child fares when all travelling together. To find out more visit www.familyandfriends-railcard.co.uk
