Lakes Day Ranger

[Bill Badger]

I’m organising a trip for myself and a group of friends and want to buy a dozen Lakes Day Rangers, including two for people who have a senior railcard.

As our first journey will be on a boat from Ambleside rather than a train I need to purchase them in advance, but can’t find any website that sells them online. Is anyone aware of any Website that sells them?

Assuming there isn’t I can presumably purchase them for in advance at any staffed station, but reading another recent thread I realise I’m going to encounter the problem that I need to have my friends and their railcards with me. This isn’t practical, so the only way I can see them buying this in advance would appear to be making a special journey to their local staffed station and asking for the ticket themselves. They can do this, although I am rather concerned that someone not especially well versed in buying rail tickets, asking for an obscure ticket at a suburban commuter station in the South East, may encounter a problem and end up getting the wrong ticket etc.

Any suggestions about an easier way of doing this welcome?

Cheers,

I'm unaware of any website's that sell rangers/rovers online, if your worried about your friends in the south east having problems, maybe try buying them through the telesales department of a train operating company.. and then distribute them to your friends when they come to the lakes.. They will sell you them, and post them. but will obviously point out the terms and conditions for the ticket with railcards. i.e no railcard shown not valid.

hope this helps
