    Dont forget you can also book free assistance on your journey to help you.
    This can be booked at your nearest station http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/passenger_services/disabled_passengers/

    with regards to family railcard you cannot have an invisble child, if you have a child under five you are allowed to pay for the child using a family railcard , to make savings, a family railcard states one adult and one child minimum must travel.
    It isnt the conductors you need to look out for its the undercover police and revenue protection officers who travel on trains looking out for fare dodgers, who hide in toilets, pretend to be asleep or have dolls as babies!!!
    And remember most trains have cctv now too!!!!
    I wished upon a star tonight that I would see you once more,
    To hold you in my arms and tell you how much I love you,
    To hear your voice, to kiss your cheek oh for just one more time,
    But all I have are memories and a heart full of love and tears.

    1 x Adult travelling from Leeds to London Sunday 22nd July (anytime), returning 24th July by 9-10pm. I've been trying to look but it's a pain looking at all the different sites etc. Could someone help me out here to try and get the cheapest fare ?

    Thankyou !

    You don't need to look at multiple sites - they will all tell you the same thing as they use the same database.

    For Leeds just use the GNER site - SOMETIMES they give you a discount, depending on the ticket.

    Not legally, no.

    Unless you are travelling with him.
  • I understand that legally its a no, but are they likely to ask me for ID? is it really risky?

    If Shelley is a girl's name (sorry - don't know) there's a fair chance they will spot you are not a Mr.

    Otherwise unlikely to be spotted.
