Petition Subsidise train fares for 16-18 year olds in full-time education

My 2 sons best mode of transport to School is the train.We just paid £191 for my 15 year old for this term(6wks) and my 16yr old £382 for the same journey just because he turned 16!!He is still in the same school.16 -18 year olds in full time education should not be paying adult fares

More details

I challenged GWR( the rail company in this instance but other tail companies are also guilty) and I was told that there is a 16 - 25 year old 1/3rd off discount card which sounded brilliant except you can't activate it before 10am or you pay £12 flat day rate which works out more expensive than an adult season ticket.The 1/3rd discount card is a fraud as it does not do what it says!!. What 16 - to 25 year old goes anywhere meaningful daily after 10am? Students and workers take earlier trains.
