Super Off Peak from Cambridge is better value too, though the best deal is
the closely guarded secret of the £2 child day return. You can't even buy it
in ticket machines at Cambridge.

Ah yes - the fantastic "kids for two quid" option (for accompanied
children) - but does that still exist on GTR? I can't find it mentioned
on the website.

It's still going strong on Southern and Southeastern - for a long time
it was "kids for a quid", but it doubled in price fairly recently. If it
has vanished from GTR, it might vanish from Southern too when it's
subsumed into GTR. That said, hopefully it won't, and the lack of a
mention on the new GTR website is just an oversight...

(the above URL rather giving away the shocking price rise!)

Actually it's barely mentioned on Southeastern's site these days...
