Hi folks, am planning an all line rover 14day 1st class with my other half.
We have a two together railcard. Can anyone check whether the two together railcard is valid for buying 2 ALR's (1st class) for us?

The national rail website lists validities and restrictions for all other railcards against the ALR EXCEPT the two together!

Thanks a million guys!

Could of course be because its a new railcard and the system hasn't been programmed yet - can anyone with the relevant system see whether it gives a discount on other rovers? http://www.twotogether-railcard.co.uk/buy-two-together-railcard/faqs/validity is silent

But http://www.twotogether-railcard.co.uk/are-you-eligible/tickets-travel-times is more explicit:

We're sorry but your Two Together Railcard discount won't apply to:
  • Season tickets, including Travelcard Season tickets
  • Oyster Pay as you go fares in London
  • Eurostar tickets
  • Tickets for special excursions or Charter trains and some coach/bus links, including Railair services and PLUSBUS
  • Rail/sea journeys to Calais, Ireland, Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man
  • Most London Underground and Docklands Light Railway tickets
  • Most Train Company and Community Rail Partnership specific tickets
  • Most Rail Rovers and Rangers

According to some regular users, you might be very lucky to get more than one drink per pass of the trolley!

just take several changes of clothing and keep moving? :D

Make sure to practice a few different voices/accents.

I have noticed a flaw in the plan though; when asked to show your ticket (as the TM won't recognise you) you'll be done for fraud as they're not transferable!

I suppose the OP could ask every passenger who does not want a bevvy to save them for him, that is of course if drinks are transferable!

Probably find theres a restriction code on every drink e.g. vodka, code 5x - can only be used in conjunction with diet coke. Red wine, code 7E - only drinkable after 1830hrs. LOL

On East Coast,

1O - passengers boarding north of York: 1 drink only

Or, for passengers south of York:

O0 - Often 0 drinks provided

Maybe there is a parly that gives each passanger a bottle of top end champagne?

I sense a negative easement coming along shortly:

000000 Passengers travelling between London and Edinburgh requesting a meal may travel without.

Probably missed out a bit:

000000 This easement applies in both directions
