Infants.

I am thinking of bringing my grandson to see the "Magic" of Hamley's
just before Christmas. Can someone please post the correct age at
which he needs to be paid for on public transport? Thanks to all
concerned.

On the Tube under 5's travel free, but on buses under 11's travel free.

Under 5s are free on the Tube. Under 11s are free on the buses. Life is
simpler if they have a Photocard.

I should also point out that it can be cheaper to pay for the child even if
they are under 5 if you get a family travelcard. E.g. a adult 1-6 travelcard
is £5.40 but a family 1-6 travelcard is £3.60 for the adult and 80p for the
child, total £4.40.

and, of course, if two adults are in the group (don't have to be related)
they can both get the family travel card, so saving even more money!

If only I could borrow a child whilst travelling - it would be so much cheaper
