Tube, DLR Fares Abolished for Under-11’s

April 2, 2007 - Staff

Yesterday (Sunday) saw the abolition of Tube and Docklands Light Railway fares for children aged under 11.

The concession extends last April’s removal of fares for 11s after 9.30am on weekdays and all day on weekends and bank holidays when accompanied by an adult passenger with a valid ticket.

Speaking yesterday Mayor of London Ken Livingstone said the new fares scheme meant “London has one of the most extensive cut-price travel schemes for families with children anywhere in Europe.”

“My first aim as mayor is to work to guarantee London’s continued success, but I also want to make sure that all Londoners can take part in that success, including opening up the transport system for families with children.”
