Here's a good one for the fare advisors...
So I'm considering travelling up to Fort William from London with my son on the sleeper in the summer.
Fine. But I am a Safeguarded priv ticket holder, and my son is 4, so does not yet have any facilities, he gains these at 5yo. I fully intend to take advantage of my 75% discount of the travel+berth fare, but the question is, is it possible to get a discount for my son?
I know he can travel for free, sharing my berth. But really he is too big now, and I would end up sleeping on the floor. Or I can pay the public child fare to secure him a berth, but I feel I shouldn't have to pay public fare for him, because he will hold priv travel facilities.
Any thoughts please?
