Other rover tickets, Freedom of South West, All Line etc will be valid to OKE (and SMC) for the first time this year along with ATOC» (Association of Train Operating Companies See - here) staff passes. Think a CDR▸ (Off Peak Day Return [ticket type] (formerly 'Cheap Day')) from EXD» (Exeter St Davids - next trains) to OKE is ^4.50 rising to ^7.50 from PGN/TOT. The CDRs to OKE/SMC are only available from stations on the Barnstaple/Exmouth/Paignton lines and Totnes.

Not according to the ATOC website, unless you know differently?  Sad

Any ideas why Okehampton line doesn't appear on the county council website for the Dartmoor Rover?

http://www.devon.gov.uk/index/transport/public_transport/buses/services-4/sunday-rover.htm

Although according to DCC» (Devon County Council - website), Wessex still exist and operate so.....

Cool - good to see. So, is Dartmoor Rover valid on Okey services? Or do you need a seperate ticket to get to Okehampton by train and then Rover on top of that?

Dartmoor Sunday Rover is valid on Okehampton trains.  Also this year, the Devon Day Ranger and Freedon of Devon and Cornwall railrover (and for that matter the All Line one) can all be used on Okehampton trains.

There will be normal Cheap Day Single and Cheap Day Return fares to/from Okehampton from stations in an area bounded by Totnes, Exmouth, Paignton and Barnstaple.

I'd love to see this on Saturdays too - the early morning train service on Sundays from Paignton is useless.

So, it certainly looks like all worries have gone.

Perhaps this thread should be called NO Worries about...
