South Coast Railpass

Hi

A few years ago one of the train companies (South West if memory serves) offered a weekend pass on all their services. I can't find any mention of this now - can anyone confirm that this has been discontinued or am I just imagining it all ?!

Only one I know of is Southern DaySave

There's the Kent Rover. 3 days for virtually all of SouthEastern's services starting a few stations out of zone 6. http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/times_fares/promotions/pr463b9a0a0400040074e1fe23ef2ad3/details.html

Also, for a short time, there was a Network Rover. This was basically valid throughout the erstwhile Network South East area & came as either a 7 day or 3/7 versions.

I had a great time on one of the 3 day versions one time - a much missed rover!

I didn't know of that, I'd love it to come back, SWT's fares are stupidly high.

Get the cheapest SWT gold card and SWT will send you 6 day passes for use at the weekends.

A number of TOCs are doing thos now - Chiltern more example.

I hope there is Southeastern DaySave.

 

[Chris B]

Nothing yet.

If you get the Ticket (from/to) Ryde at what, £185 is it now, then what do you get as 'cookies'? Just the six passes, or do you still get free tickets? I had a discussion with Mr FareDealer whether the 1st class St Margarets-Twickenham annual season, which was a gold card, gave you free 1st Class tickets and not cattle class, so you could use them on Waterloo-Exeter say. I am not sure if Paignton is a SWT route so it would have to be Exeter Central?

According to NRES, Ryde Esplanade to Ryde St Johns Road would be cheaper at £124/12mo.

Barry Doe quoted Newhaven Town-Marine as comparable to Ryde's annual.
