(http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd13/GrazzaD/bristolzones.gif) Notes: Slight price increase for zone 3 as to cover further destinations Additional zone 4: covering further fairly local journeys to/from Bristol, +^2 Stations in light blue/dotted lines are potential stations/lines Unbolded dark blue stations are request stops Edit: I just realised the zones are by letters, not numbers, so treat zone 1 as 'A', 2 as 'B', etc. Title: Re: Freedom Travelpass Post by: mada on January 08, 2008, 23:24:02 Here's how I would lay it out if those stations were to be added ;D (http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd13/GrazzaD/bristolzones.gif) Notes: Slight price increase for zone 3 as to cover further destinations Additional zone 4: covering further fairly local journeys to/from Bristol, +^2 Stations in light blue/dotted lines are potential stations/lines Unbolded dark blue stations are request stops Edit: I just realised the zones are by letters, not numbers, so treat zone 1 as 'A', 2 as 'B', etc. Damn right! It's all really overpriced though. If this was Germany it would probably cost around 49 euros.

Title: Re: Freedom Travelpass Post by: Graz on January 09, 2008, 22:00:30 Thanks for the comments ;D
I might change Dilton Marsh to zone 3 considering its close proximity to Westbury, Also 'Wootton' only has one O! but yeah a wider ranging zonal system would be good. I've been to Cardiff where they have an unlimited travelcard using a London-style zonal system. Their outer zone reaches as far as Maesteg, and it works really well. My friend and I had a great time travelling around the area using those tickets.

My friend and I had a great time travelling around the area using those tickets. That's partly due to the fact it counts as part of the valley lines network! But yes, the zonal system is awesome This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
