She'll need a ticket if travelling on most of NR routes in London
(including basically all of them south of the river) - but that's
because the TOCs aren't kindly enough to offer free travel to
accompanied children under 11. A 11-15 Oyster photocard would be
one way of dealing with this - if travelling off-peak then the
applicable cap is GBP 1.30.

Including Putney! Grrr! I suppose it rather depends on how long her
great-grandmother lasts. My mother is 92. To get home from Putney on
Sunday I had to use SWT because the District Wimbledon branch appeared to
be suspended. Putney was crawling with rail replacement buses, some in
very eccentric liveries. Fortunately I had an NXEA Super Off-Peak Day
Travelcard (see my other post about that confusing the SWT barriers).

Off-peak Day Travelcards for children cost GBP 3.00 - or GBP 2.00
if they are travelling with an adult who has a F&F Railcard,
Network Railcard (weekends only), Gold Card or HM Forces Railcard -
needs to be purchased from a ticket office (though I'm guessing NR
ticket machines may offer them if the adult is buying a ticket for
themself too [2]). See the bottom of this page:

But not for Senior Railcard holders! The *******s!
