All Line Rover Query

[howittpie]

Hi all

Am planning on doing an All Line Rover just a query about the 10 o'clock rule at Birmingham New Street. From reading the restrictions I am assuming that it ok to be passing through on a Cross Country as you don't alight e.g. Nottingham to Cardiff

Many thanks

From NRE:

The All Lines Rail Rover is not valid for boarding or alighting train services operated by CrossCountry, East Midlands Trains, Virgin Trains or Virgin Trains East Coast before 10:00 Mondays to Fridays at the following stations:
Birmingham New Street
...

So you should be fine. It's to stop the ALR being used instead of certain long-distance season tickets which are more expensive.

That's correct. You are not permitted to get on nor get off but you can pass through.

Thank you for the replies I shall continue with my planning something I have always wanted to do.

And it only applies to Virgin and CrossCountry. London Midland and Arriva Trains Wales you can get on and off at any time.
