No, you can travel on a train at any age and once on the train you can travel for any distance so long as you've got the money. At 14 you are old enough to travel unaccompanied.

ps. High Brooms is a regular station, on the London to Hastings line. Castle Cary is on the great western so you will need to either go across London Charing X to Paddington or change at Tonbridge, Readhill and Reading.

As long as your parents know where you are, none at all, there is no minimum age to travel on the trains, however obviously if you was alone under the age of 10 and travelling a long distance then there could be a concern.

Well, since there is only a heritage railway station at High Brooms (Spa Valley Railway), you will have to travel from Tunbridge Wells, via London. But there is no minimum age.

Oops.... HM10 you are right. I was confusing it with High ROCKS. I should not answer late at night, when I am tired.

When I was young I used to travel all over Britain by myself on day return tickets and sometimes days at a time on railrover tickets.

I think that today you are accualy safer than in the past because of the amount of cctv both in the streets and on the trains,and you also have moblie phones.

Young people should be encouraged to travel and be more independant as I see they are cosseted by seemingly over-protective parents.

There is no minimum age to travel anywhere on the UK National Rail network.
To correct a previous poster, there is a station at High Brooms in Kent. I've traveled through it many times and it lies between Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells.
To Castle Cary, you would need to travel from High Brooms to Charing Cross, change for the Bakerloo Line to Paddington and then get a direct train to Castle Cary from there.
Good luck.

There is no minimum age to travel on trains, unlike some airlines, long as you have a valid ticket for your journey, there should not be any problems.

If you have any parents or guardians taking you to the train maybe they could have a word with a member of train staff or train guard, if they have ny worries, but on the whole there should be no problems, as train staff cannot challenge you for travelling alone,long as your ticket is valid. Minors your age have travelled on our trains and there have been no issues, have a great journey.

There is no minimum age for rail travel. However, if you looked to be very young and were unacompanied a member of station staff may ask questions to verify that you are ok.

When I was twelve I travelled by train all over England to watch soccer and I was alone, but that was a few years ago, so I guess to do it nowadays would be dangerous.

prepare B will take 12.5 hours to get closer prepare A. That makes it 6.10am the next day. prepare A has a lead of fifty miles on prepare B. prepare B is gaining on prepare A at 4 mph, as a manner to close the lead will take a little time it takes to commute 50 miles at 4mph, i.e. 12.5 hours.

no problem at all. I've travelled a similar distance on a child ticket numerous times.
