Thats pretty much a definitive list. You Select the appropriate TOC for the area you want, then search through what there is.
THere is also an All Line Rover, which allows you on any mainline train (except Heathrow Express, Heathrow Connect between Heathrow & Hayes, Eurostar, and light rail systems such as London Underground or Manchester Metrolink), costing 1040 for 2 weeks 1st class, 680 2 weeks std class or 1 week 1st class, or 450 1 week 1st class. 50% discount for children, 33% discount for railcards (does not apply to Family railcards, or 16-25 for first class tickets)

Without a specific example it seems easier to direct you to nationarail.co.uk and their list of rovers http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/times_fares/promotions/rangers_and_rovers.html

I am a bit confused with this now, looking at the fares for these rover tickets and seems to be some contradicting information on the site for example the East Midlands Rover:

East Midlands Rover 3 in 7 days.

Concession £46.90 for holders of Senior, 16-25 and Disabled Persons.

Rail staff travel discounts are available.

Child East Midlands 3 in 7 Days £46.90

Adult East Midlands 3 in 7 Days £71.00

And under the railcard section at bottom of the information it says:-

No Discounts Disabled Persons Railcard (child), Disabled Persons Railcard, Concession Card, Annual Gold Card, HM Forces Railcard, Senior Railcard, New Deal Photocard Scotland, Family & Friends Railcard, Network Card, Child, New Deal Photocard, 16-25 Railcard

the link to this is as follows, can anyone help me understand this better please?

Thanks Tom

I'd suggest that its an error in the no discounts. I know for fact that 16-25 railcards do get discount on these.

Cheers and can't find one on there, but I'm not wanting a full week travel maybe just a few days looking at travelling between sheffield-doncaster-london-manchester also like a one day travel between sheffield-leeds-manchester-liverpool any ideas on which one would be best, I'm new to all the train spotting used to plane spotting and want to get out more with this one.

Both of the ones you've suggested there are best done using individual tickets really. A ranger/rover is only good for fairly small areas.

A South Pennines Day Ranger [£20.50p; £13.55p for railcards] would let you travel between Manchester-Sheffield-Leeds-Bradford/Huddersfield-Manchester and Huddersfield-Sheffield via Penistone to your heart's content from 0845 on a weekday and all days Sats, Suns & Bank Holidays. Full details on Northern Rail website. But to include Liverpool you'd need a seperate ticket from Manchester, and for the rest of your intended travels, you'd be better with individual tickets, as has already been said.
Happy travelling!
