Hi
There are two named people on each rail card. They are saying that if both of those people are making seperate journeys but at the same time only one of them can use the railcard. You must carry the railcard with you so the other person won't have the railcard with them.

Nope, you don't all have to travel. for example if me, my DH are named on the card, My DH can travel with my DD, I can travel with my DD or we can all go together. It just has to be at least one named cardholder with a child.PAYDBX 2016 #55 100% paid! :j Officially bad debt free...don't count my mortgage.

Yes that's true, my earlier post was misleading.
Either named railcard holder can use it as long as they are accompanied by a child.MSE- The Glitchhikers guide to the galaxy
