What age is it to be an adult for train in the uk?

Question

just wondering, is it 16 or 17, because i payed for adult a few weeks ago and im only 16, thanks

Answer 1

Hi i think its 16 as you can buy a 16-25 railcard which gets you 1/3rd of prices so due to that age range id assume its 16 :)

Answer 2

unfortunately you become an adult paying fare on trains when you reach 16, free travel for 4 and under, half price 5-15 yrs.

If you travel a lot on trains why not invest in a 16-25 railcard (formerly known as Young Persons Railcard) which entitles you to 34% or 1/3 (still the same discount) on all travel in standard and some tickets in 1st class advanced travel, and costs £24 per year

Answer 3

16
