FODC 3 in 7 Rover ticket (only one part?)

[Nofun4me]

Hey guys,

So I decided to go down to Looe on the weekend (with the beautiful sunshine) and decided that A rover ticket is the best way to travel. I have Purchased a FODC and only got one part without the boxes. I thought this was weird so I have tested it at my home station and again no boxes (its a 3 in 7 ticket). Are you meant to get boxes that you date for rovers like this?

Ive never had a * in * rover without the relevant boxes.
I’ve never done this particular rover though. Maybe it’s different but I simply cannot see how else you would mark your 3 days. What does the ticket office say?

In the top right hand corner of your ticket does it say "issued as two coupons"?

 

[Nofun4me]

No it just says 3 in 7 and the end date, issue station and as advertised. I can’t really speak to the TO as they had never heard of it and it took them ages to find it. I thought it was weird as I’ve never heard of a “in” rover without it either

I had 2 coupons and date boxes on my FODC rover last September, and I remember asking the ticket office at Penzance to write the date in for me as I lost my pen on the Night Riviera.

It may be worth seeing if any friendly ticket office would do an exchange for you, should you have some time on your hands somewhere. This is an incorrect issue so if other ticket offices have the same problem it may be an issue with the datafeed.

Unfortunately with the area predominantly staffed by GWR, it isn't particularly feasible to try out a ticket office operated by another TOC, which may reveal whether it is just an issue restricted to GWR's STAR system.

I didn't get the second ticket with the date boxes with a Freedom of Scotland rover several years ago.
I asked the guard on my first train what to do and he said I should write the dates on the back of the ticket.

It’s a shere machine used by our line so I wonder whether it is an issue with them? I shall talk to someone down at liskeard see what they suggest. Thanks for the suggestion with the back I may ask a guard that.
