Title: Rover Date Boxes Post by: Brucey on February 06, 2012, 22:28:33 Has anyone seen a two-part rover ticket issued recently?
Previously, you would write in the validity dates using a pen on the second coupon. I see that the National Rail website now says (for FOSS anyway) that the boxes should be marked with a X. Just as a general question, has the format of these tickets changed? An X in the box certainly seems easier than a date and prevents misunderstandings where the handwriting cannot be read.
