Having been doing a spot of bashing in recent times thanks to making the best use out of the various day tickets (Rovers) I had a thought about creating new rovers to make a bashing day out more attractive, or sometimes planning to spot a particular service more easily, such as a Railtour.
One I’d like to see is one that covers each TOC. That way, spending a day sampling a company’s fleet could be made easier. For example, a ‘South Western Rover’ ticket covers all of the SWR network alongside a few additional routes, such as the North Downs line between Guildford and Reading.
Another Rover can be created to cover the larger franchises to offer a more extensive Rover, such as a GTR Day Ranger covering Southern, Thameslink, Great Northern and Gatwick Express.
I’d also change the Cornwall & Devon 3 in 7 ticket to become a one Day ticket. I wonder if anyone else has thought about changing or creating an ideal Rover for their trips?
