The Largest Day Rover

[MidnightFlyer]

By number of track miles availbale on it. Price isn't an issue, I'm just curious. Might try it one day

surely has to be the London Zones 1-6 travelcard?

Hmm, good point, I actually meant like the EM Day rover or Lancs day Ranger. And nobody say the SPT one either

 

[yorkie]

If "the SPT one" is the Roundabout, then I'll say the Daytripper

I didn't think there was such a thing as a Day Rover. The rule certainly used to be that Rangers were one day tickets and Rovers were multiple day tickets. The only ones I can think of are the Island Liner Day Rover and the North Wales Rover, although I think there are a few exceptions such as West Yorkshire Day Rovers and the Tyne/Wear multimodal tickets which are actually PTE rather than rail products.

So perhaps in answer to the OP, the answer should be the Island Line Day Rover, as it is the only such ticket

You Moderators and Admins are really useful aren't you? OK what is the biggest one day rover/ranger ticket? Thanks guys

I've updated my first post since your quote as I found a second One Day Rover hiding away there

 

[MidnightFlyer]

lol, thanks, So whatever the name may be, what (by track miles) is the largest one-day ticket in Britain?

 

[scotsman]

South West Day Ranger or Ride Cornwall?

 

[paul1609]

Southern Day Save?; Milton keynes-Southampton Central-Ashford International

the 7th day of a 1 week all line rover?

The West Midlands Day Ranger seems to cover the largest area to me. But its not like Ive measured it or anything.

But if youre talking track mileage, then it has to be a London Travelcard (including all rail, tube, bus and tram routes! must be hundreds and hundreds of miles!)

How about the West Midlands Day Ranger?

 

[mrcheek]

Of course, if you wanted to do maximum mileage in a day, it would be best to get a NorthEast Round Robin, and just go back and forth on the fast services between York and Newcastle all day. You could average almost 100 miles an hour!

 

[Darandio]

Make it York to Darlington, you might manage an average of more than that as you dont have the slow sections in County Durham. Plenty of XC services to tootle back and forth on, if thats your sort of thing.

Look guys I'm not after mileage or getting HSTs, I was just curious, would be nice to know. Thanks for all the advice anyway

Suppose you could say that the ALR is the best for mileage - you don't have to use it for the full 7 days!

Let's assume you have an idea of an area you would like to visit. What if you just ask the incumbent to make a best offer.

At the same time launch the same question at a local rail booking office.

Choose the best solution. It really is as simple as that, unless you find a better deal on the web.

Other than a Daysave, I might hazard a guess at a Cheshire Day Ranger; not a huge area but quite a lot of different lines.

 

[185]

Heart of England Rover is huge. Crewe to Northampton and down to Cheltenham is a big area.

 

[tony_mac]

but that's not a day ticket!

For those interested to know, there is a 9 zone travelcard to cover the London Underground and London Overground stations outside Greater London (except Watford Junction) however these can only be purchased at stations in zones 7-9.

 

[tony_mac]

I reckon a WMDR has 450+ miles of track, and a Cheshire Day ranger 400+

You can purchase it online as well. Just enter a station in zones 7-9 and london all zones travelcard in the destination.
