Child Fares
Up to 2 children under 5 years can travel free with each fare paying adult. Children aged 5-15 inclusive generally pay half the adult fare, except where some Railcards offer Child discounted rates. Some Train Companies in London and the South also offer a specially reduced flat fare for accompanying 5-15s. See Family Off Peak Day Travelcard to London and First Capital Connect Accompanied Child £2 Flat Fare or Southern Accompanied Child £1 Flat Fare (Kid for a Quid).
Tip: If you travel regularly with children throughout the country, you may find that a Network Railcard or Family Railcard can save you money.
