The question is how much group discount should be provided to
attract families - or should it stick to what it's best at. And the
answer really depends on the time of day - when the trains are full,
attracting families is probably best avoided, but when there is spare
capacity, it's often worth putting on special offers in order to attract
more passengers.

TfL certainly try to attract families. An off-peak ODTC (Zones 1-6) costs
GBP6.00. If you take a child with you, you qualify for a Family Travelcard
for GBP4.00 plus GBP0.80 for the child. On Saturdays and Sundays the Family
Travelcard is even better value - the child still needs a ticket, but the
child ticket is free.
