Title: Freedom of Severn and Solent - validity Post by: grahame on May 22, 2022, 08:21:42 From https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/times_fares/pr8bb6ac0a0400040155984b49bbe4b3.aspx
Freedom of Severn and Solent Quote Travel in the designated rover area The Freedom of Severn & Solent Rover provides unlimited use of all National Rail services on the map in the validity section. Available any 3 days within a 7 day period. Participating train companies Transport for Wales; Great Western Railway; South Western Railway; CrossCountry; It says "unlimited use of all National Rail services on the map in the validity section" which includes Southampton to Cosham, but it does not list Southern as a participating train company. Isn't this contradictory?

It also doesn’t include the Fareham - Eastleigh line so does that mean tough luck if you happen to be on a GWR service that normally goes that way?

Yes :o As the map is the definitive statement of lines, it would suggest the ticket is not valid in the Rhubarb Loop train, nor on trains from Westbury to Castle Cary that use the Frome avoided; you might suggest I'm being pedantic in that latter case, but the Weston-super-mare avoider IS shown.
