Hi all,

Sorry if this has already been asked before but does anyone know where I can find the prices for the Rovers and Rangers.

Thanks in advance

P.S. I have checked the national rail website and it shows no prices.

It's very hard because the Rail Rovers website is out of date and National Rail doesn't have fares for the majority of tickets.

Some TOCs like Northern and FGW are very good at publicising tickets in their areas and put the prices on their website, but some like EMT don't cover the issue at all.

If you had a specific ticket in mind I'll look it up for you.

The Junction website has info regarding rovers.

Does anyone have prices for a day ranger for all of the UK and a day ranger for the south of the UK?

There is no such ticket. You can purchase a DaySave ticket which is valid on trains operated by the Southern TOC only, details are on their website.

:D Prices for all-line rovers (minimum 7 days) are:

All-Line Rail Rover (Standard)
7 days
£430·00

All-Line Rail Rover (First Class)
7 days
£650·00

All-Line Rail Rover (Standard)
14 days
£650·00

All-Line Rail Rover (First Class)
14 days
£990·00

The basic off-peak Southern only "Day Save" ticket is £10 (a peak hours version costs £30) but both have to be booked at least 7 days in advance.

There are other one day regional ranger/rover tickets available in the south of the UK, such as the "Heart of Wessex Day Ranger", "Looe Valley Ranger", "Oxfordshire Day Ranger", "Thames Branches Day Ranger", and the "Devon Day Ranger", depends where you want to go, exactly.

Are the DaySave tickets available for first class?

Thames Branches Ranger sounds good, is that available for first class? FGW first class is quite nice.

Apart from the ALR, I'm not sure that there are any Ranger or Rover tickets with a First Class option?

At first glance, I thought this thread was about Range Rovers, in which case they are quite expensive brand new. :D Very nice though.

Northern & FGW are top draw when it comes to rovers and rangers now. Never expect Virgin & East Coast to do any marketing, but as long as they continue to accept, not a problem.

I'd advise on a Coast and Peaks or an East Midlands, which give more interesting journey opportunities in my opinion and are slightly cheaper.

My favourite bits of the Heart of England area were :-

Gloucester-Cheltenham-Birmingham-Derby-Nottingham
Gloucester-Worcester
Oxford -Worcester-Hereford (89 Miles/2hours+ on a HST xD)

How much are the East Midlands tickets with a 16-25 Railcard?

Thanks

East Midlands Rover with a Railcard:

3 in 7 days = £42.10
7 days = £55.00

Also beware that the East Midlands Day Ranger and the East Midlands Round Robin tickets cover different areas to the East Midlands Rover! Maps are on NRES website.
