The 16-17 Saver was introduced in 2019 [3] in order to allow people aged 16 and 17 to access child fares, which are normally only available to children under 16.

Rounding was done in the passenger's favour: for example, a Railcard discount of one-third would be rounded to 34% (i.e. 66% of the full fare), downwards to the nearest £0.05.
