Has any one heard of this ... its new (apparently) you pay £18 for a year and your child goes at child price and you get a third off.
your child needs to have either the higher rate mobility or higher or middle rate carers. here is the page.

unless I'm missing something, this would be of use to disabled adults rather than children, as the price and discounts sound the same as you would get with an ordinary family railcard.

I think its of benefit if its only you and your child. If you go out as a four or more some, then the discount doesn't work.

ah, evidently I was missing something then blush

Thanks for posting.

I use a family railcard but have a disabled card for me.

Message

Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,

, type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,

, type [grin] or :o
For a wink,

, type [wink]
For a shocked face,

, type [shock]
For an angry face,

, type [angry]
For an embarrassed face,

, type [blush]
For a sad face,

, type [sad] or :(
For an envious face,

, type [envy]
For a sceptical face,

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
