The RANGER FINDER

Rovers and Rangers:

There are 90 rovers and rangers listed covering England, Scotland and Wales (if you know of one not listed drop us a line and we'll take a look).

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!

You can find them all by using the drop-down boxes opposite (javascript required).

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.

Where tickets are also valid on bus services they can normally be purchased from bus drivers.

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.
