I have been asked a question which I feel is best thrown open to you good folks:

"Holders of the 16-25, Senior and Disabled Persons Railcards get 34% discount off a Freedom Of Severn & Solent Rover ticket, but holders of the Family & Friends Railcard do not.

Why is this?"

Don't kids get 60% off? In which case ^12 would be astronomically cheap!

The child fare is half-price (^20 for the 3 day in 7 ticket, ^30 for the 8 day in 15 ticket)

Yes, but FAM discount would give them 60%?
