Rangers/Rovers & Mapping

[trainfanatic]

I used to use the NRE website to find out prices/routeing of various TOC Rangers/Rovers. The detailed info on the NRE website, such as route maps and pricing has disappeared.

I have checked a few TOC websites (FGW/EMT etc) and find that EMT seem to have no info at all, but FGW has limited info (Pricing but no maps.) Where can one find this information now?

Wasn't quite sure whether this belonged under General Discussion or Fares/Routeing. As you can see, General Discussion (I knew him well!) won the day.

I note information for some of them hasn't yet been filled out, for example the All Line Rover (14 days) has no pricing information.

In the meantime, I find http://www.railrover.org/ to be a decent alternative.

No, I don't. The original NRE Website contained the rover/ranger mapping, this one doesn't (unless it is well hidden!!)

Click on 'validity' to see the maps. Not all the information is there, but there may be some.

Click on the name of the product then the validity tab and there should be a map.

There is a site - railrover.org - which gives details and prices. I am not certain about maps.

Have you checked these TOC websites:

Northern Rail have quite a good section on their website dedicated to all Rail Rovers and Rangers in the North.
And London Midland have a few maps for the Heart of England Rover and the West Midlands Day Ranger at the bottom of the page I've linked to.

Thanks to all for the useful responses.

It's not that it hasn't been filled out - its that the NRE website has been very broken for 2 weeks now. They are showing little sign of actually fixing it.

Ah yes, I see now. Does seem NRE is really quite broken at the moment!

I don't know about that, the network maps disappeared some time ago and have eventually reappeared.
