Severn Valley Railway cuts child fares to £1
Monday 19th July 2010, 8:26AM BST.
Children’s fares on the Severn Valley Railway in Bridgnorth are being cut over the summer holidays.
It means instead of £8 for the full-line round trip, tickets for those aged four to 15 years will be £1.
The railway’s Kids for a Quid promotion is running from July 24 to August 31 in conjunction with free admission to the SVR’s Engine House Visitor Centre at Highley for ticketholders.
SVR general manager Nick Ralls said: “We know that keeping children entertained during the long summer holidays puts families under a lot of strain, and we’re very aware that whatever the pundits might be saying, for many people the recession is far from over.
“By reducing our fares for accompanied children to just £1 we’re making the railway a more attractive proposition to families, and what we lose in fare revenue, we will hopefully make up by running fuller trains.”
To qualify for the £1 fare, children need to be accompanied by an adult who buys a return ticket to travel on the line. The offer is also valid for the SVR’s “special event” days.
