I accidentally bought two children's tickets with my niece's name instead of one for my 1 year old daughter for travel from San Sebastian to Barcelona.
Is this something I should even worry about? do they even check children's names (or even adult's?)?
I assume I should be able to pick up a free infant-in-arms ticket with her name at the San Sebastian station if nothing else
I've never traveled with children, but I've been on a lot of European (including Spanish) trains and no one else has responded, so:
I don't remember ever seeing a regular, ticketed passenger being asked for a passport so the name could be checked. Rail pass folks need to prove identity, and people with senior tickets (and I assume student/youth tickets) are likely to be asked to prove they qualify for their discounted tickets, which might involve showing a passport. Otherwise, I think the ticket-checker will only want to see the ticket itself unless the child looks borderline, age-wise.
acraven, thanks. yeah that's what I figured.
I agree with Anne.
