Title: Ranger and Rover tickets - any better listings around? Post by: grahame on June 11, 2009, 07:55:42 I'm looking up a number of ranger and rover tickets ... considering whether to / which to try for a few days this summer. I've found a site listing them at
http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/times_fares/promotions/rangers_and_rovers.html but the indexing is poor - it looks to me as if you need to know the proper title of each ticket, then look it up under the first letter of that title - for example: Severn and Solent - 3 days out of 7 - look under "F" Falmouth to Truro - travel as much as you like in a day - look under "M" Can anyone point me to an overall map of rover / ranger / freedom tickets, and / or some form of geographic list or search facility ("all rovers that include Trowbridge" for example)? Thanks Title: Re: Ranger and Rover tickets - any better listings around? Post by: Tim on June 11, 2009, 09:11:59 have a look at www.railrovers.org.uk

That page in particular should help you, showing all Rovers in the FGW area. Title: Re: Ranger and Rover tickets - any better listings around? Post by: grahame on June 11, 2009, 11:22:15 Thanks - that makes it much easier!

I was looking for a rover to take in the South Coast, but I could not find one in the NR indexing. :'( Title: Re: Ranger and Rover tickets - any better listings around? Post by: Steve Bray on June 11, 2009, 21:31:48 Grahame,
