What is the difference between a Ranger and a Rover?
The former is a one-day ticket and the latter more than one day -
except of course for Day-Rovers!

Getting there:
Multi-day rover (but not day ranger) tickets are valid in the area of validity whether a train calls at
the boundary station or not. This means that if you have purchased a multi-day rover ticket in advance you
only need to purchase a ticket to the first station in the area of validity for the rover ticket to become
valid, irrespective of whether the train calls at the boundary station or not.
Purchasing tickets:
Most rover and ranger tickets cannot be bought online (there are a few exceptions).
They must be purchased from either station
ticket offices or train conductors when no station ticket issuing facilities are available, however, some
train conductors may have trouble finding some of them on their portable ticket machines.
Most tickets can be bought in advance of travel from any station ticket office and where tickets are also
valid on bus services they can normally be purchased from bus drivers.
