do you always have to travel with the family or can i use it solo

You have to travel with a child on this. If you live in Strathclyde and travel at weekends, the family funday will be better value in some cases. ask at a booking office before you travel, or on train at non staffed stations. Silly me, I mean if you travel in the Strathclyde area. ALWAYS ask before you buy, even with a senior railcard or local concession, what is the cheapest way to buy a ticket for the journey your making. When you fly with Ryanair and make a journey to anywhere in Scotland you can get half price travel on trains, you must have your travel itinerary with you, this is downloaded from the net. In Scotland there is a 55 club, where you can get discounted travel, ALWAYS ask

You do not have to travel with a child but would have to purchase a child ticket. Still saves you money though.

To be exact, yes you should travel with a child. I dont adhere stricktly to the rules here, but the ticket is invalid if you dont. A ticket inspector who goes by the book can declare your ticket invalid for the journey and charge you again. This is a FAMILY railcard remember, but hey if you think you can get away with it good onya;)
