Who it's for

This scheme is specifically intended for students who are under the age of 18. It is designed to support the social development and mobility of young people by making travel more accessible during their time away from the classroom.

What you get

When you use this ticket, you receive discounted travel rates. These savings are specifically applied to your travel costs during the summer holiday season, helping to reduce the overall expense of trips during this time of year.

What it costs you

The catch to know

It is important to remember that this ticket is not a universal pass for all transportation. The discount is only valid for specific trains and within certain regions. You cannot assume the discount applies to every journey or every type of train service, so you must verify the coverage area and the specific train types allowed before you begin your trip.

  2. Check the specific regional transport rules to see which trains and regions are covered by the discount.
  3. Locate your local transport provider or the official rail services to purchase the ticket.
