London visits by train with 4 and 1 yr old - discount available??

nonoz

I am planning to make quite a few (over 10) visits to London over the summer holiday with my 4 and 1 year old. Is there any discount railcards available at all? I live approx. 1 hour outside of London.

Many Thanks in advance,

Naomi

Hi Naomi,

There's the Family & Friends Railcard: http://www.familyandfriends-railcard.co.uk

There's also the Network Railcard too: http://www.network-railcard.co.uk

As the kids travel free anyway there is no point in shelling out for a railcard.

Depending on where you live there may be a one day travelcard available that will cover a day return trip plus unlimited travel in London on tubes, buses, etc. Though it may be cheaper to buy a day return to London and use a contactless debit or credit card or Oyster to travel about whilst there.

Offpeak travel (the definition of which varies between lines) is generally cheaper

If you post what station you are starting from you should get some more specific advice
