Not quite correct if you buy your 1 day Off Peak Travelcards and use your Family & Friends railcard the price comes down to £5.30 per adult and £2 per child per day.

But these Travelcards need to purchased from a Railway station and not an Underground station , their still valid for use on Rail, Tube, Tram, DLR and Bus.:D

thanks for the map,still confused!!livingthedream says you can only buy the travelcards at mainline stations so which bit of kings cross is the mainline??

Go to the mainline rail ticket office, which is on the western side of the concourse IIRC (the right hand side as you exit the platforms).
You can't confuse them, as the tube ticket office is at a lower level, marked 'London Underground', and entirely separate.

Sorry to have caused confusion and also not to have answered your question earlier, had an intense and stressful day.

To get the discounted tickets just follow the advice macman stated couldn't have put it into better words myself.

Is that because the railcard can only be used at a railway station office and not the underground?
