Thameslink all day ticket

[samj]

Hi all,

Now there is no FCC anymore, is there still a day ticket that you can use on the a thameslink route?

Many thanks

Of course there is.

The same fares are available as before, just renamed 'Thameslink only', or 'Great Northern only' - have you checked a journey planner at all?

Was the ticket you're thinking of, but it doesn't appear to be available any more. The new websites make no mention of it and doing a site search returns 0 results.

He's not talking about ordinary tickets, he's on about the day rover.(used to be valid Bedford-Brighton plus the Wimbledon loop)

Ok thanks for clarification. That one wasn't mentioned in last week's discussions in the GoVia Thameslink thread.

The National Rail Enquiries website has a half-updated entry for the Thameslink Daysave ticket. It indicates that the ticket had to be purchased before travel from the Tourist Information Centre in Bedford, Brighton, Dunstable, Greenwich, Luton, Sandy or St Albans. I think that online sales stopped quite a few years ago.

I believe it was never available on line, even in the pre-2006 Thameslink days as well as in FCC days.

Confusingly it was available from Sandy tourist information centre but could not valif for travel from Sandy railway station!

I do hope it's still available.

FCC also operated a scheme with job centres to give free travel to interviews and subsidised season tickets for the first month in a new job. As someone who benefited from this recently I do hope this scheme is continuing with Govia.
