Travel for the family
Family Train Travel Made Easy
When you travel with kids, the journey is as exciting as the destination. That’s why we continue to do what we can to make our services as family friendly as possible.
When booking your train, families can take advantage of the Family & Friends Railcard and benefit from up to 1/3 off the cost of tickets, while we also offer cheaper tickets for children. Booking tickets in advance using our train map also ensures you can sit together.
Onboard, the whole family can enjoy delivered catering, free WiFi, spacious luggage facilities, and more. We’ve done a lot to make our service as safe and comfortable as possible.
When you arrive and depart, our station guides and maps will help you get where you need to be. You can also find information about station facilities, making life easy at either end of your journey.
We know how important family time is, whether it’s a day out or a holiday. CrossCountry makes the journey there and back simple.
