Over priced train fares for 16 - 18 year olds

Two solutions:
1. Buy the Family Railcard and the ticket as usual and if anyone asks just say she's 15 - it's unlikely they'll check, especially if it's obvious it's a family travelling, i.e. parent and children.
2. (the completely legal option) Will the 11-year-old be with you this time? If so you would count as 2 adults and 1 child, which still qualifies for a Family Railcard discount. You and the older daughter would get 33% off; the younger daughter 60% off.0
