Off-Peak Family Travelcard

[miami]

An Off-Peak Family Travelcard allows a minimum of 1 Adult and 1 Child (5-15 years old inclusive) return travel to London and enjoy unlimited travel throughout London on National Rail, London Underground, DLR, London Trams, and London Bus services within Zones 1-6.

BRFares has the price from Stafford as being £53.80

Eligibility says

> Off-Peak Family Travelcard is valid only when at least 1 Adult (16+) and 1 Child (5-15 years) is travelling together. Maximum group size is 2 Adults and 4 Children

From what I can tell this single ticket covers 2 adults and 2 children (travelling together) and thus should cost £53.80 for a day to London on the LNWR trains

However websites don't seem to sell it - nre.co.uk, trainline, trainsplit all seem very quiet about it

Am I completely misreading this

 

[Watershed]

As shown in BR Fares, each ticket covers 1 adult (for £53.80) or 1 child (for £1).

Therefore a group of 2 adults and 2 children would cost £109.60.

Given this cost, a Family & Friends Railcard would definitely be worth considering. It costs £35 for a year but provides a 1/3 discount for the adults and 60% discount off the already-discounted child fares. The Travelcards would then cost £95.50 in total for the aforementioned group.

Unfortunately it's not possible to combine a Family Railcard with a Family Travelcard as far as I can tell.

Mentions that Family off peak travelcards are available on SWR, but I can't any mention of this elsewhere nor on Brfares for my station Farnborough.

Is this something coming soon or a typo? SWR is one of the London TOCs that haven't offered £1 child travelcards in the past

 

[Watershed]

Family Travelcards aren't priced to/from all stations. I'm not sure why SWR are on that list as I can't immediately find a journey where they offer them, but in many cases the data on the "participating operators" is out of date or plain wrong.

SWR accept Family Travelcards for travel on their services, but don't currently price any.

A quick look at a few origins suggests it's only c2c, Chiltern, Greater Anglia, GTR, GWR and WMT that are pricing them.
