How old do you have to be to ride a public train by yourself?

Answer 1

In the UK, aged 0 to 4 you cannot ride a train by yourself (adult accompaniment is required).

Aged 5 to 15, you can ride a train by yourself with parental permission.

Aged 16 or above, you can do as you please.

Answer 2

All according on the Parents and Child  Kids go to school on trains  by themselves.. I travelled Countrywide from the age of 8 both bus and train during the war but my Parents and family were all transport folk some kids might get a ball or marbles as a casual gift..  I got Time tables and maps ..Born with paint not blood in my vains lol. So if your parents allow you to travel by bus I suggest you ask them to take you on a train ride ... Then learn all you can  on that day ..then say after a nose around trains are just like buses aint they nothing to worry over ...Hope they agree  and then you are on your travels

Answer 3
