DD1 (who is 14) may have to get via train from Derby to Berwick on Tweed later this month (thinks it's East Coast line, have to check it all out etc). It's all for complicated if quite boring reasons, we're just thinking about it at the moment.
Grandma is going to put her on the right train at Derby.
She will have to change once at York.
Me and DP will meet her at Berwick on Tweed.
She is very bright and quite sensible, not particularly streetwise, but she gets bus and stuff on her own at home. She is confident she'd be able to find the right platform when she has to do the change at York.
I just had a thought last night when I had insomnia that this is a really terrible thing for her to do on her own and now I'm not so sure about letting her do it!!!!????
And anyway, is there a minimum age for kids travelling alone on a train?
