Hello experts,
what would be the best option to travel within London for a family (2 adults, 2 children under 10) for a week? Zones required are 1 and 2, we also have a Family & Friends railcard.
Based on my research, there are the following options:
1) parents use contactless, kids travel free (up to £7.70/adult per day but could be less)
2) parents buy 7-day travelcards, kids travel free (£38.40/adult for the whole week)
3) parents buy Day Off-Peak travelcards with railcard discounts (£9.50/adult per day), do the kids need their own travelcards in this case (£2.70/kid per day) or not?
Is my understanding correct that the kids indeed travel free in the first two scenarios, and they don’t require Oyster zip cards? If so, option 2 seems like a no brainer (and the railcard seems to be quite useless).
Many thanks for your help!
