West Mids Daytripper questions.

[FQ]

Hi all,

Please could someone help with the following questions about the West Mids Daytripper (WMDT)?

1. On GB Railrover, it tells you the price of the Adult peak ticket (£7.80) but doesn't with the child. Does anyone know the price for the Child peak WMDT?

2. Can you get a WMDT a few days in advance from say Birmingham Moor Street but with the Leamington add on?

Cheers,

Quinn.

1. The daytripper is an offpeak ticket (valid after 930). The n-network ticket guide (http://www.networkwestmidlands.com/web/FILES/ticket_guide_2015_Single_pages_-_311214.pdf see page 28) has an n-network one day (price £8.10) but doesn't list a child fare. I'm not sure whether that's because there isn't one.

2. Yes, you can buy them from ticket offices in advance.

Thanks for the info! I will just ask at the ticket office for a peak one and see what happens then.

Cheers!

Happy to help! The other thing to watch I guess is that the add ons (eg for Leamington) are for the daytripper and I'm not sure they exist for the network one day. I know there are add ons for Leamington and other stations on longer network season tickets. Maybe someone else will know about the one day situation with add ons.

Thanks for the info!

A child can get a nNetwork Daytripper for £4.30 (Off-Peak) Unlike the adult version there is no peak time version available. If you want to go in peak time then you could just buy the Adult ticket however this doesn't have a Leamington add-on in peak time.

There is an day add on available.

You are looking for an nNetwork Daytripper Child Plus. £5.30

If you really need to go in peak time then you'd need to buy a normal train ticket.

It may be worth noting that if your travelling in a group you can get a Family ticket which has an Leamington extension also,
