    Not legally - megatrain forbid travelling short.

    In practice it depends whether there are barriers or ticket checks at the Airport Station or not


    There aren't any barriers and i've never been checked there by a guard as you dont have to exit through a station or anything. Used it many many times. Southampton central however, does have barriers and if you go by megatrain you have to show the guard your booking to enable them to let you through.

    thank you to all, in the end i just paid £66 return for me and my son, great journey on the way there disaster on the way back, we were at the ufc event and the hotel was a hole so we decided go back to southampton that night, we got the last train and it was packed with foo fighters fans also and to top it all off the train stopped at basingstoke because of line work so they put on transport for the last part of the journey, when the train stopped i told my cub to run and people were commented on whats the rush but when i was sitting on the 1 and only bus with a couple of 100 still trying get on and the driver then telling the standing to get off and there was no more buses arrange, i could not bare to look out at the window seeing all these angry faces.
    Waddle you do eh?

    Probably worth emphasising that with the family railcard, there MUST be at least one adult AND at least one child travelling.

    all help gratefully received for slightly complicated trips, thanks

    My mother in law will take the kids off our hands for 10 days :T I just have to pay for her rail fare, pick up at Kings Cross. I've got it down to £47 day return for her for 24 July, if she buys a senior railcard. Other prob is my 6 year old (who looks 8), can't get a return fare below about 30 quid for him which seems v steep.

    On our usual Brighton-London line kids always travel for a quid, is this child fare price normal?! And are there any ways round it?

    (family and friends card not valid as she'll be on her own down from Newcastle-London)


    cheers
