Family & Friends Railcards give you epic savings on most train trips across Great Britain when you travel with at least one child. Up to four adults and four children can travel on one Family & Friends Railcard which gets you one-third off adult fares and 60 per cent off kids’ fares.
A Family & Friends Railcard normally costs just £26 for a year, but today Daily Mail Readers are being offered a two-month trial Family Railcard for FREE.
Great savings by train, with summer getting closer, take the kids by train on some great days out - without breaking the bank. And going by train is half the fun. If you fancy the seaside, two adults and two children travelling from London to Bournemouth could save a hefty £46.80 on a return trip!
Check out how much you could save on family days out:
EDEN PROJECT; Plymouth – St Austell - SAVE £10.40
LEGOLAND, WINDSOR; Oxford - Windsor - SAVE £17.60
LONDON EYE; Peterborough – Kings Cross - SAVE £33.80
These examples are based on two adults and two children taking an off peak day return journey.
Your Family & Friends Railcard will also give you savings on attractions, accommodation, restaurants, and cinema.
In addition you can nominate a second cardholder for your trial Family & Friends Railcard. The other cardholder can use the Railcard when you aren’t – or you can both get the discounts if you’re travelling together.
Up to four adults and four children can travel on one card and they don't have to be related either. Take a friend, a friend of your child’s, or bring granny - as long as you’re travelling with a child, you can make savings. And, of course, kids under five go free.
