Hope this helps someone. They retail at £30 and make a huge difference to the cost of a family journey. I've bought one just to use on one trip - brought the price down from £218 to £132 and cost me no more than £15 of Clubcard vouchers. Very pleased.
The blurb:
Taking the family out for the day can be pricey enough as it is. Why make it even more so by paying full travel fares across the board? With a Family & Friends Railcard, you needn't give it a second thought. This card allows you to save a third on your travel and 60% off your kids’ travel, so long as you're travelling with kids aged between 5 and 15 years.
For frequent rail users who can't leave the kids at home, a Family & Friends Railcard could be just what you need. And we're here to help you pick one up more cheaply. Simply exchange £15 in Clubcard vouchers and you'll get a year's Friends and Family Railcard in return. Think of it as our way of helping you on your journey.

I'm afraid not:
• You must travel with at least 1 child aged 5-15yrs when using your Family and Friends railcard.
• To qualify for a Family & Friends Railcard, your group must contain at least one named Railcard holder and at least one child aged between 5 and 15 years. The maximum group size is up to four adults (aged 16 years and over) including the named cardholder(s), and four children (aged 5-15 years).

Was it a family one? I think we got one for £20 last year and I thought that a bargain.
I'm hoping they have it again soon. It came in handy during the summer :sunglasses:
