Transport for Wales is offering families a helping hand this half term, with a Kids Go Free ticket, allowing them to explore Wales and the Borders.
Up to two children under the age of 11 can travel for free with each fare paying adult on TfW services and the age of the accompanying adult has now been lowered from 18+ to 16+, so no excuses for teenagers not to join a family day out!
James Price, Transport for Wales chief executive, said: “We understand this is a very challenging time for a lot of people as we face a cost of living crisis and we are committed to reducing the cost of using public transport.
“We’ve simplified our Kids Go Free offer to encourage as many people as possible to make the switch from cars to public transport, which can save money and also reduce their impact on the environment.”
Children aged 11 to 15 can travel for free off-peak on TfW services between the hours of 9.30am to 4pm and after 6pm on Monday to Friday services, and all day on Saturday and Sunday. Up to two children aged 11 to 15 can travel for free off-peak with each fare paying adult (16+).
An unlimited number of children aged 0-4 can travel with each fare paying adult at all times on any UK rail service.
Free tickets are available from Transport for Wales ticket offices and on-board conductors. The new Kids Go Free offer will be launched this half term but is available all year round.
More information about the Kids Go Free offer and for a range of free rail related learning activities for children is available here.
TfW has also partnered with Cadw to offer its customers 2-for-1 on the price of entry to their historic sites when you travel there by train.
With a valid same-day rail ticket, travellers get two entry tickets for the price of one when visiting some of the best-known landmarks in Wales.

Lansio ymgyrch Teithio am Ddim i Blant
Mae Trafnidiaeth Cymru (TrC) yn helpu teuluoedd a ffrindiau i archwilio Cymru a’r Gororau am lai drwy gynnig tocyn Teithio am Ddim i Blant yr hanner tymor hwn.
Gall hyd at ddau blentyn dan 11 oed deithio am ddim gydag oedolyn sy’n talu am docyn ar wasanaethau TrC ac mae oedran yr oedolyn sy’n cyd-deithio bellach wedi’i ostwng o 18+ i 16+.
Gall plant 11 i 15 oed deithio am ddim ar adegau tawel ar wasanaethau TrC rhwng 9.30am – 4pm ac ar ôl 6pm o ddydd Llun i ddydd Gwener a thrwy’r dydd ar ddydd Sadwrn a dydd Sul. Gall hyd at ddau blentyn 11 i 15 oed deithio am ddim yn ystod oriau brig gydag oedolyn sy’n talu am docyn (16+).
Nid oes cyfyngiad ar nifer y plant 0-4 oed all deithio gydag oedolyn yn talu am docyn unrhyw amser ar unrhyw wasanaeth rheilffordd yn y DU.
Dywedodd James Price, Prif Weithredwr Trafnidiaeth Cymru: “Rydym yn deall bod hwn yn gyfnod heriol iawn i lawer o bobl wrth i ni wynebu argyfwng costau byw ac rydym wedi ymrwymo i leihau cost defnyddio trafnidiaeth gyhoeddus.
“Rydym wedi symleiddio ein cynnig Teithio am Ddim i Blant i annog cymaint o bobl â phosibl i ddefnyddio trafnidiaeth gyhoeddus yn lle’r car, gan arbed arian a lleihau eu heffaith ar yr amgylchedd hefyd.”
Mae tocynnau am ddim ar gael o swyddfeydd tocynnau Trafnidiaeth Cymru a chan y tocynwyr ar ein trenau. Caiff cynnig newydd Teithio am Ddim i Blant ei lansio yr hanner tymor hwn ond mae ar gael trwy gydol y flwyddyn.
