Passenger descriptions

Our passenger descriptions are designed to help you choose the right ticket for yourself or your fellow travellers.

Adult (16-59) and Senior (60+)

Adult fares apply to all customers from the age of 16 upwards.

Infants (0-2)

One infant travels free when accompanied by an adult with a valid ticket.

Additional infants aged 0-2 must be paid for. If you are travelling with more than one infant aged 0-2, please book the additional infant as 'Children (3-15)'. For example; one adult travelling with three infants aged 0-2 would only pay for two of the infants.

Travelling with a child car seat

We strongly recommend that you bring a child car seat appropriate to your child's age but have to ask you to please take responsibility to fit the seat yourself.

If it is not possible to use child car seats on your journey we will tell you during your booking. When bringing a child car seat please make sure your child is included on your ticket booking.

Children (3-15)

Children under 14 cannot travel alone unless accompanied by a responsible adult (16+).

If travelling with a child, you may be required to show proof of age when buying tickets or at any point during your journey. Failure to do so may result in the child being required to pay the full fare for the journey on that day.
