Kids in trains

dhans · Oct 22nd, 2005, 02:26

Hi,

I"ve read that on trains kids between 5 and 12 pay half fare and kids below five travel for free. But how does this work with seats / berths. Do both categories get a seat/berth, or only the half fare paying one? Or none at all?

(yeah the trouble about travel with kids....

)

Thanks in advance,

Hans

Hello Hans,yes you are correct in your info.Children 12 and under pay half fare,they still get a seat or sleeper .Our daughter was 4 when we travelled earlier this year,she just slept with me in my sleeper.When we went to Chandigarh on the day train[only 3 and a half hours]she did not have a seat so we shared her amongst our seats.I guess that might answer your question.Night trains are a great way to get around,beats finding accommodation and our children loved them,kindest cheers,Carol

Kids between 5 and 12 r charged half ticket but are allotted a berth when taking a reserved ticket, but kids below 5 have to adjust with their parents.
