-- No not the country, London fares for children. Article on BBC
London news 6.30 p/m yesterday highlighted the cost of fares for
children across the capital. Because TFL run more services north
of the river children up to age 11 can travel free whereas in the
south, national rail charge over fives. About time the mayor got
control of services within the M25.


Or, have HMG return "London South of the Thames" to Kent and Surrey.

Hows that going to make fares cheaper for kids?

Something on which the respective counties would make a determination.
I believe most counties provide a child subsidy for buses.

round 'ere (Kent) they are stopping paying for bus passes to school

the idea that they might have any money to subsidise leisure fares is pure
fantasy
