Fares for distances exceeding 120 miles will be based on the ordinary single fares (Regulation 2) plus one-fifth, computed to the next 6d. in the case of first-class tickets and to the next 3d. in the case of second-class tickets.

  1. Family Excursion Tickets.

  2. Second-class family return tickets at three times the ordinary return fare (Regulation 2) may be issued to parents and their children travelling together. Minimum charge as for 20 miles. The children must be under sixteen years of age, and be accompanied by at least one of their parents. The number of children in any family who may travel on one ticket is unlimited. The names of the parents or parent and children must be declared at the time of booking, and only the persons whose names are so declared may travel on the ticket.

  3. These tickets will be available for the period specified for ordinary return tickets, and must be obtained not less than fifteen minutes before the due time of departure of the train by which they are to be used.

  4. Trip Bearer Tickets.

  5. Trip bearer tickets, first or second class, will be issued at the charge for six return fares (Regulation 2), suburban (Regulation 40), or local (Regulation 41, paragraphs 2 and 7; and Regulation 43, paragraphs 4 and 6; as the case may be), less 10 per cent., and will be available for twelve single journeys.

  6. Trip bearer tickets will be transferable, and will be available for three calendar months; they will not be issued for distances exceeding 25 miles, and will not be available for break of journey.

  7. Trip bearer tickets will only be sold for the use of persons residing in the neighbourhood of one of the terminal stations shown on the ticket.

  8. One or two children over three but not exceeding twelve years of age travelling on these tickets will count as one adult; three or four such children will count as two adults, and so on, each additional one or two children counting as one adult. The age limit will be the same in each case.

  9. Passengers holding second-class trip bearer tickets and who desire to travel first class will be charged the difference between the first and second class single fare ordinary (Regulation 2), suburban (Regulation 40), or local (Regulations 41 and 43), as the case may be.

  10. Where two or more passengers are travelling on a trip bearer ticket such passengers will require to occupy seats in the same compartment or carriage or in such other accommodation as may be allocated to them by the Department.

  11. Platform Tickets.

  12. At such stations and at such times as the Department may determine, tickets for admission to the railway-station platform will be issued at a charge of 4d. each; but the Department reserves to itself the right to limit the number.
