Hi Guys
The challenge is a group of 5 adults and 14 children, 11 children are aged 10 or below, three are aged 11, traveling up to Trooping the Colour from Bridgend on Sat 8th. They need train travel to and fro on the same day and tubes around centre of London.
Without starting into split tickets (it'll do the leaders head in, and I'm worried about this affecting reservations), what's the best way they can do it without starting into Advance tickets?
Family and friends railcards can be purchased as required.
Best combination I can come up with so far in theory (I can't get prices for this combination off the FGW site, I'll try when I get my hands on an Avantex tomorrow) is
Five adult travelcards BGN - All zones with Fam discount
Three Child travelcards Bgn - All zones with Fam discount
Eleven child Bgn-Pad with all zones discount
Purchase four Fam Railcards.
The other alternative is buy three Fam railcards, and two Adult BGN-Pad with Fam railcard discount for two of the under 11's to travel on.
I'm right that 4 children under 11 can travel free with each adult on the Tube?
I can't get prices to come up for the group total, the mixing desk won't let me do it, and it's doing my head in!
Thanks in advance!
