Petition Action

Require train operators to allow under 18s to purchase child tickets

Petition Details

We think this should happen because for other things, e.g. buying cigarettes, voting, people have to be 18. Why should young people be considered adults at 16 for a train journey?

Additional Information

We think it is not fair that 16 and 17 year olds are considered adults when it comes to money for train fares. We think it should be 18 like it is for other things!
