It's been 4 or 5 years since I bought one of these but you used to be able to get a 7 ( or mayge it was 8 ) in 14 days rover. Now it seems that if you want more than 4 rail journeys or you want them to last more than 7 days then you have to buy 2. Or am I missing something ? Specifically...

I got an Advance Single ticket ages ago. The Virgin trains seat reservation covers up to Preston. However is I stay on the Virgin train until Wigan North Western it's an easier change with the opportunity to take a break. I catch the same Northern Rail service from Preston but at Wigan if I do...

Thanks everyone. London Midland have unlocked my bookings so I can use my current card with the booking reference number at the vending machine.

Through no fault of mine my band had to revoke my card & issue me with a new one. The bank advised me to destroy the old card which I did. The new card has a different number on the front and valid from / expiry date & 3 digit security code on the back. Problem is I ordered some tickets...

Change of plan I've booked a place in Thirsk from Sat 26th May for a week. Travelling from Liverpool Lime St it appears that ticket splitting at Leeds saves me money, but no doubt you experts know more. Perhaps there is s Rover that covers the journey to Thirsk & I could also use the...

Thanks everyone. Think ill go for the 7 day season ticket posted by yorkie. Glad to see others here using Tapatalk ! Sent from my HTC Tattoo using Tapatalk

Yes but if I'm planning 4 day trips out from York I'd need 4 rangers & 4 returns wouldn't I ? Sent from my HTC Tattoo using Tapatalk

Yes I know there is the Freedom of the North East but it covers a heck of an area & I wouldn't want to travel further than 2 hours from York. Any cheaper alternatives with a reduced area centered around York ? Thanks.

This is for people over 55 like me. it is available until 31st March but I want to travel at Easter. Are they likely to extend this so it covers me & I'm just trying to book too early ? Not expecting the offer to be available during the School summer holidays but upto mid April would do me.

I WAS planning on going from Liverpool to Oban on Thursday 5 April until I saw the prices. I've found that using ticket splitting at Glasgow cheaper but on that day it's sixty odd quid single. same on the Wednesday before Good Friday. If I go on the Tuesday I can get the cheap tickets. Is...

Thanks for the replies. I think i'll go for the Freedom of South West idea. Although more expensive I'd only need to buy singles from Birmingham New St to Chelenham Spa & back, rather than the more expensive Tiverton Parkway so it actually works out cheaper. I will have to use 2 of my 8...

Out Sat 16/4 Yes I can get to Birmingham New St for £9. As an added complexity I will be getting a Freedom of Devon & Cornwall 8 in 15 day rover. There is no way I'll use 8 journeys so I am quite prepared to use 1 from Tiverton Parkway to Liskeard. I will be spending a few nights in Liskeard...

Yes I will be returning & no I don't have a railcard. Not sure of the exact dates because I want to nail down the accomodation first. Thanks for the tips so far anyway.

Looking to book this using Advance Single for late March which is within the timescale for these tickets. Coming up as £42.50 One way. Over the festive period I booked a journey of almost the same distance from Liverpool - Glasgow £15. Again Advance Single, also £15 the return leg. So why is it...

Went to Scotland 3 times last year. March, June & September. Got cheap Advance Single tickets in all cases but I needed to travel mid-week on a Tue Wed or Thu. Booked well in advance near the 12 week limit. Trying to book now for early March, but realised that is just outside the 12 week...
