Hi there,

The child can travel for free, given that you will take her on your lap if trains are full. Because children below the age of 6 are technically not entitled to a seat. You could purchase a child pass if you want to be secure of seating for you and your child.

Generally there are more than enough seats to go around though.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
