With Scotland‘s school summer holidays approaching, train operator ScotRail is reminding families that children can travel for just one pound off-peak when travelling with a fare-paying adult.

‘Kids for a Quid’ tickets, which ScotRail first introduced in 2021, can be used with almost all adult ticket types, including Advance tickets, Season tickets, Club 50 membership and National Entitlement Card.

ScotRail has added content to its website that highlights activities and attractions that families might like to travel to, including beaches and other free attractions. The operator hopes that this content will provide ideas for day trips and outings.

Claire Dickie, ScotRail Head of Retail, said: “We understand the challenges that parents, grandparents, and guardians face during the school summer holidays when thinking of things to do to keep children entertained throughout the long break.

“Our ‘Kids for a Quid’ tickets not only ensure affordable travel for families but also encourages them to consider train journeys as an exciting part of their summer plans.

“Travelling by train is such a great way to experience Scotland. Families can explore stunning destinations, discover new experiences, and create lasting memories together.

“Don’t miss out on the incredible adventures that await this summer. Take advantage of ‘Kids for a Quid’ and embark on an unforgettable journey, because Scotland’s Railway is ‘Yours to Use.'”
