What did the officials say?
Jonny Wiseman, customer experience director for London Northwestern Railway, said:
“Travelling to school or college by train can be a fantastic choice for many. The Student Season Ticket offers the flexibility of a traditional season ticket, but at a price that reflects travel during the school and college terms.
“With timetable improvements being introduced from May, and further investment into rail services planned over the next few years – it’s a great time to encourage young people to use train services to travel for their studies.”
