    Hmm, could be dodgy ground there. This is a Family & Friends Railcard, therefore you should travel as a party. There is the risk that if there is a ticket inspector on-board (and they are actually alert) that travelling alone would breach T&C's - I think the rail tickets do say F&F or similar.

    I think you're right. Else everyone would buy one.

    What if there are two adults and a child who is under 5 years old. 18 months for example.

    Hi

    As long as you buy a child ticket, even if under 5 years old, it should be ok as I have done it in the past.

    Yes, that's OK, as long as you buy them a child ticket (normally they would travel free). We did it last year.
