Title: Plus bus plus Rover Post by: Alan Pettitt on October 08, 2013, 09:46:57 I know that a Plusbus ticket can be bought separately from the rail ticket (if a valid rail ticket is held) but does anyone know whether one can be bought by the holder of a Rover?
Title: Re: Plus bus plus Rover Post by: trainbuff on October 08, 2013, 16:37:44 I don't see why you couldn't. As you said. A valid ticket must be held. Providing you are traveling within that Rovers area then you are the holder of a valid rail ticket.
You have fulfilled the criteria :) Title: Re: Plus bus plus Rover Post by: JayMac on October 08, 2013, 19:17:25 Hmm.....
From the PLUSBUS terms and conditions (http://www.plusbus.info/sites/default/files/pdfs/PLUSBUS%20Terms%20%26%20Conditions%20v2.pdf) (.pdf download): Quote PLUSBUS tickets must be bought in conjunction with a train ticket and this ticket must have as its origin and / or destination the town for which PLUSBUS is purchased. <snip> PLUSBUS tickets are only issued for the town at which the rail journey originates and/or the town at which the rail journey ends. PLUSBUS tickets cannot be issued for intermediate towns along a rail route (that are not named on the accompanying train ticket). The T&Cs do not explicitly exclude Rover and Ranger tickets, but those two terms quoted above would rather suggest you cannot purchase PLUSBUS in conjunction with a Rover or Ranger, as these rail ticket type do not have an origin and a destination printed on them. That's not to say a ticket clerk wouldn't sell you one though.

I had an Anglia Plus 3 Day Flexi Rover some years back and I could use the bus in Ipswich. Worth checking before forking out for another ticket.
Title: Re: Plus bus plus Rover Post by: JayMac on October 08, 2013, 19:26:40 Indeed.
A Ride Cornwall Day Ranger includes travel on most scheduled buses. The Explore Wales Rovers include bus travel with most scheduled service operators.
