Title: Remind me - add ons to Rovers Post by: bigdaz on September 26, 2011, 20:53:47 Hello guys! It's been a few months... sorry!!
Probably one for Bignosemac..... If I buy a single FNB > ESL can I travel, from FNB, changing at WIN to WEY as the first leg of my tour? Title: Re: Remind me - add ons to Rovers Post by: TheLastMinute on September 26, 2011, 21:17:02 I would think a lot depends upon which Rover you hold... ;)
Title: Re: Remind me - add ons to Rovers Post by: bigdaz on September 26, 2011, 21:20:55 Sorry ::) Should have said - Freedom of Severn and Solent ;D
Title: Re: Remind me - add ons to Rovers Post by: TheLastMinute on September 26, 2011, 21:32:48 Assuming the service is run by SWT, that's fine. The Freedom of Severn and Solent is valid from Eastleigh westwards, and as it's a rover ticket your train doesn't need to stop at the station you change from the single ticket to the rover.
There's a leaflet with a map available from FGW website here (http://www.firstgreatwestern.co.uk/Documents/Custom/Rangers%20&%20Rovers/Rangers%20&%20Rovers%20-%20Devon%20CornwallL_107_0410%20FOR%20WEB.pdf) and I have seen it some ticket offices. I don't know how often the FOSS is seen down there so it may be worth having a copy on you. That said, I've never had a problem other then having to tell a RPI on the gate at Bournemouth how to issue them! Cheers, Mike Title: Re: Remind me - add ons to Rovers Post by: Brucey on September 27, 2011, 17:56:11 I've had no problems with a FOSS down at Eastleigh, Southampton or Pompey. Most just glanced the ticket, other checked more thoroughly but had no problems.

The whole reason for asking was, in a nutshell, if I have a FOSS with a single FNB > ESL but the train doesn't stop at ESL am I still covered? It would seem YES I am lol!!! Title: Re: Remind me - add ons to Rovers Post by: Brucey on September 27, 2011, 18:31:09 Yes. NRCoC allow this under section 19 as the FOSS is a "leisure travel pass", as defined by section 19.
