TRAIN operator Northern is providing parents and guardians with everything they need to know about travelling with children during the half term holidays.
The company has issued a reminder that children aged five to 15 go for half price and those under five years old travel for free alongside fare-paying passengers.
Anyone with a long list of activities designed to get the kids out of the house is encouraged to consider a Rover ticket that provides discounted travel on seven consecutive days, allowing families to ‘hop on and hop off’ during the holidays.
For smaller groups of two, Duo tickets offer a 25% discount if you buy your ticket and travel together.
People using the train as part of a day out on their bikes are being reminded that storage space on-board is allocated on a first come, first serve basis and there is a maximum of two bikes allowed on each train.
Matt Rice, chief operating officer at Northern, said: “The half term holidays is a great opportunity to get out and explore the region – and by leaving your car at home, you can relax, enjoy the journey and rake in the savings.
“Our trains call at more than 500 stations across the North of England, so wherever you’re going we can help get you to where you want to be.”
