Which rate is correct?
 

According to the National Rail journey planner web site a
Cambridge-King's Cross CDR with a Family Railcard is £11.90 for the adult
and £1 for the child. At Cambridge this morning National Express insisted
the child fare was £2. I can't get the online system to offer that child
fare.

Who was wrong?

Looking on the Chiltern-branded version of trainline.com, I also find it
as £11.90 Adult, £1.00 Child.

Working out the discount using a calculator, however, gives a Child fare
of £3.45.

Doing some digging reveals that First Capital Connect offer an
accompanied Child Flat Fare of £2.00, so that would seem to be the
correct fare, but I'm guessing the journey planner is mistakenly
discounting it.

HTH,

TBH, that's what I was expecting originally but no-one was charging that
for any CDR fare.

HTH,

Dergh! How do I work that one out then?

More to the point, the FCC-branded version gives the same prices, using
the same trains tomorrow as we used today.
