Title: Maidenhead to Paddington travelcards quesion Post by: johoare on January 03, 2011, 00:09:04 In the past, I've paid ^13 odd for an adult travelcard to London all zones (off peak) from Maidenhead and then take up to four children for ^1 each for their travelcards. Has that fare disappeared now does anyone know? I was just looking up fares on FGW site and it was about ^6.50 each per child even with an adult? It'll be a backward step if that fare has gone :(

Title: Re: Maidenhead to Paddington travelcards quesion Post by: johoare on January 03, 2011, 00:25:36 Just checked Fares Manual and it still exists. Thanks Ollie.. This is related to my other post in the Swindon board.. If I go into FGW site and ask for Maidenhead to Paddington next Saturday.. 12noon departure, 6pm return, 3 adults, 5 children it is quoting me ^13.50 per adult and ^6.75 per child.. Just out of interest then.. Does the same thing work for Reading travelcards? Same amount of people? Does the ^1 apply from there too? And if so how much are the adult travelcards? It's not making it easy to work out the cheapest option ::) Title: Re: Maidenhead to Paddington travelcards quesion Post by: SDS on January 03, 2011, 00:56:28 Did read somewhere that the ^1 flat fare has increased to ^2. Ill have to remember where I read it and post it on here.

Children travel at a flat fare of ^00, except on First Capital Connect and National Express East Anglia where a ^00 flat fare applies and on Chiltern Railways where a ^00 flat fare applies."

Quote The Family Travelcard had to be removed from sale, due to a limitation of the system which will sell the adult ticket separately without the child. We are working with our suppliers to enable this ticket to be sold correctly in future. This ticket is still available however only at the ticket office Title: Re: Maidenhead to Paddington travelcards quesion Post by: Electric train on January 07, 2011, 17:04:51 In this weeks Tizer http://www.maidenhead-advertiser.co.uk/news/article-19290-backlash-over-rail-fare-hikes/ (http://www.maidenhead-advertiser.co.uk/news/article-19290-backlash-over-rail-fare-hikes/)
