Louise White asks if travelling by train still gives value for money and if grandparents who care for children should be given more recognition.

In a speech earlier this week, the Prime Minister highlighted how grandparents are getting a "raw deal" after stepping in to look after children whose parents have died, fallen ill or are unable to provide adequate care themselves. He said the Conservatives will consider making a pledge to give grandparents who look after their children the same rights as adoptive parents. He signalled that thousands could be given parental rights to paid leave and greater financial support.
