"You must be travelling with at least one child aged 5 to 15 years old in order to use a Family & Friends Railcard."
Bad luck. Where can I find such a child?

You have paid to travel, seats are not guaranteed in the price unless you have a reservation and I'd hope if the train was full and you didn't actually have a baby that needed the space, you would put stuff on the overheads racks..

​Calais?

Ask the McCanns

Is that you Jimmy :stuck_out_tongue:

Borrow somewhere ;-)

You forgot the Kids running up and down the carriage banging into everyone sitting in an aisle seat...... and parents watching indulgently as their kids use the carriage as a private playground.... clambering over seats with filthy footwear and sticky fingers.

Thanks worked for me but let's see if card turns up :neutral_face:

Heat, and thanks op, my daughter and granddaughter are coming to the UK for July so it's ideal.

That's useful info. Thanks for that.

Thanks for posting OP :smiley: I've checked the T&C's (as I took out a similar offer a couple of years ago) and it states that every 2 month trial card sent out will also receive a unique code for £10 off the purchase of a 1 year F&F's railcard. It's only valid if you purchase it between 11th July - 11th August 2016 but it means you can buy a 1 year Railcard for £20 instead of the usual £30 which, as far as I'm aware is the cheapest way of buying one if you need it. HOT from me btw

WHAT!! Travel by train? I've regularly experienced ALL these: Stand up for the god-knows-how-many miles journey due to no seats? Ear-battered by smartphone music/chatter-as-if-there-was-no-electronics-between-the-callers? Kids screaming and whining? Person next door to you snoring/smelling/picking/spitting? Arrive late to find missed connection? And that's only travelling 1st Class! No thanks - I'd rather go by bus/coach/walk/not bother. No wonder they have to make them free!

Thanks, heat added

Forgot I read about this - thanks OP! Great little freebie for use during June & July :smiley:

Ooooh, vicious.

Thank you, just got one for my daughter and i to share

Worked Fine For Me :smiley:

http://www.railcard.co.uk/trialcard2016/ works fine for anyone who is wary of using "affiliate links".

Fantastic, thank you. We have 3 children aged between 4-8 & planning trip to London in half term :-)

lol just say the child is at the bathroom lol or find out if they let you buy a return but just have a child for one single part of journey - e.g. if child lived elsewhere and you were travelling to collect or drop them off in case of family, other parent or grandparents?

Have to travel with a child - voted cold!

Apparently they give them away in Portuguese holiday resorts. I got mine there a few years back...

I've tried several different random codes on the site and confirm that the form is not code checking.
So lets home that National Rail/The Sun are not doing any further processing when then send out the tickets, otherwise would be interesting to see what they make of 20k applications using this one code!

You need to be able to show the Railcard with the ticket, so no. HTH.

I believe you need the railcard for both trips as the ticket will say you've used a railcard. The inspector will then ask to see the railcard and probably make you pay again on the return journey

Ask the McCanns

Get a baby reborn doll they are very lifelike :smile:

Brilliant all sorted with the code thanks

I'm travelling on 31st July to 1st Aug, assuming the card is valid from 1st June to 31st July will I still be able to use it? Or does it need to be valid over all the legs of the journey?

Family and friends but hmm my child is 6 months old so I cannot use this card :/

I'm using the train on Monday what are the chance of this arriving before then

Got it, thank you!

Copied from railcard t&c's-
If the only child in the Family & Friends Railcard group is aged under five years, the Railcard holder must purchase a discounted ticket for that child in order for the Railcard holder(s) to qualify for the discount on their tickets.
Terms and Conditions are valid up to and including 15 May 2016.

Thx, good to know. Heartless ****. They should help you find a lost child. :wink:

Thank you.

Brilliant. Thanks!!! :smile:

They don't kick you off, but they do make you pay extra!!
Me and the girls tried it, ended up costing us another 50 quid each!!

Thanks.

OOPS we're in freebies but you never know.

"You must be travelling with at least one child aged 5 to 15 years old in order to use a Family & Friends Railcard."

cheers op, just applied :smile:

Does this work for Mersey rail?

Thanks op. Got one for myself and a family friend :smiley:

well if i take my 75 year old mum with me, that technically makes me the child :smiley:

grabbed one anyway .. free is free ..

You have paid to travel, seats are not guaranteed in the price unless you have a reservation and I'd hope if the train was full and you didn't actually have a baby that needed the space, you would put stuff on the overheads racks..

Good point

Thanks

Many thanks.

Excellent! Cheers!

Ta very much :smile:

Thanks a lot OP

Thanks.

The link doesn't seem to work. Or am I missing something...?

Thank you :smiley:

Yes 1/3 off for adults and 60% off for kids on most rail fares :smirk:

Ta much :smile:
Is this a third off normal rates ?
Sorry, I'm used to the bus since its cheaper..
