There will be 2 Adults and 10 Children.

Thanks in Advance!

See South Western Railway's information about Group Travel here:
www.southwesternrailway.com/train-tickets/cheap-train-tickets/groupsave-and-group-travel
(scroll down below the information about GroupSave)

Group Travel: 10 or more of you

If 10 or more of you are travelling together you can save up to 26% with a Group Travel ticket when travelling during Off-Peak or Super Off-Peak times. With Group Travel, 16 and 17 year olds can travel on child tickets, meaning you can save even more money.

The cheapest tickets will always be offered to your group for your journey and you may be quoted GroupSave if this offers a better saving. If you’re travelling to London, we can include unlimited travel on London Underground and Docklands Light Railway with a Group Day Travelcard.

To get a quote or book for your group:

Call our Group Travel team on 0203 879 4088. Lines are open 08:30-17:30 Monday to Friday and the team will assist you in finding the cheapest option for your group, answer any questions and book your tickets for you.

Two things in particular to note from the T&Cs...

* Group Travel needs to be booked and paid for at least seven days before you travel. For groups of over 100 people, we need four weeks notice.
...and...
* You can buy Group Travel tickets for a maximum group size of 27 people at any of our staffed stations. For larger groups, contact our Group Travel team.

Do any of the adults have a railcard (either a Network Railcard or a Family & Friends Railcard)?

The price to beat is the Off Peak Day Return which costs £33.20 for an adult and £16.60 for a child. Total for the group £232.40

Up to 4 adults and 4 children can travel on a Network or F&F Railcard and benefit from the railcard price. The railcard discounted price if £21.90 for an adult and £6.30 for a child.

If the group has access to 2 railcards then 2 adults and 8 children could travel and benefit from the railcard discounted prices. You'd need to purchase normal rate child tickets for the other 2 children. This would cost a total of £127.40.

Note that this assumes that the guides are all under 16. You'd need to factor int he cost of railcards (usually £30 each) if these aren't already held.

It would be interesting to see how this compares to a Group Travel quote from SWR.
