[Jan Mayen]

Does anyone know of any heritage railways which offer a season ticket or rover, where you can make repeated visits over the course if a week/month/running season, please?

Does the North York Moors Railway offer something like that? Some sort of 'Travel Pass' which is valid for 12 months from the date of your first visit, on their Standard 'Red' or 'Blue' timetable services only. Cost is something like £180 per 12 month period.

Some railways offer free unlimited travel to members of their associated preservation societies.
However, many of them have now restricted the number of free tickets due to abuse (e.g. Ffestiniog Railway now only offers 10 per year).

Membership of the KWVR gives three complimentary Day Rover tickets.

As well as other benefits.

I'm a life member of Bluebell, which gives free 1st class travel.
I wonder what level of use might be considered abuse?

For the Watercress Line, Alton to Alresford, you can apply for membership at £35 per year, £25 per year senior. You then get 50% travel reduction, on non Gala days. There is also an annual Members Weekend, two days travel and workshop tours free..

The Bluebell offered season tickets for the summer holidays aimed at families this year. Not sure if it will be repeated next year or not, all depends on if the money was made back through other income streams.

That is full line trips there isn't a way of recording part journeys between intermediate stations.

Life Members of FRS still theoretically are unlimited as are members of WHRS on the respective lines.

I seem to recall that shortly before Covid it was discovered that owners of some local B&Bs and hotels had been joining and lending out membership cards to guests as a fringe benefit, apparently brought to an end by a vigilent member of booking office staff.
