        One ticket covers travel for up to two adults and four children up to 15 years old all for the same great price.

      • Make your return journey whenever you want

        Our new Family Single tickets add extra flexibility to your family journey. You can book your outbound and return journey separately.

        That means you can guarantee your great outbound price, even if you haven't finalised your return trip yet.

      • Travel at a time that suits you best

        Want to get a kick start on your holiday? Family Singles can be used to book Peak tickets, as well as Off-Peak tickets at no extra cost.

        So whether you want to get started early, or give yourself more time to get the kids out of bed, the choice is yours.

      • Travelling with under 5s?

        Normally under 5 year olds travel for free on our trains and don't need a ticket. This means they also don't get a seat.

        If you're travelling with under 5 year olds, they need to be included in your total when booking your Family Single ticket.
