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?

I would think a lot depends upon which Rover you hold...  Wink

Assuming the service is run by SWT▸ (South West Trains), 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▸ (First Great Western) website here and I have seen it some ticket offices. I don't know how often the FOSS▸ (Freedom of Severn & Solent rover ticket) 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▸ (Revenue Protection Inspector, or Retail Price Index, depending on context) on the gate at Bournemouth how to issue them!

Cheers,
Mike

I've had no problems with a FOSS▸ (Freedom of Severn & Solent rover ticket) down at Eastleigh, Southampton or Pompey.  Most just glanced the ticket, other checked more thoroughly but had no problems.

I think I must have been tired when I typed my original thread!!

The whole reason for asking was, in a nutshell, if I have a FOSS▸ (Freedom of Severn & Solent rover ticket) with a single FNB > ESL but the train doesn't stop at ESL am I still covered?  It would seem YES I am lol!!!

Yes.  NRCoC▸ (National Rail Conditions of Carriage) allow this under section 19 as the FOSS▸ (Freedom of Severn & Solent rover ticket) is a "leisure travel pass", as defined by section 19.

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post - a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London, depending on context) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.
