If you don’t have a Family Railcard, some Train Operating Companies (TOCs) offer what are known as “Kids For a Quid” promotions. To get these fares, you have to do a separate booking for the children. On the booking engine, enter 0 (zero) for the number of adults and then however many children you want to book for.
