Thames Rover

« on: June 08, 2010, 20:43:13 »

I've just noticed that I can buy a 3in7 day Thames Rover for ^26.40 with my network card. I notice the after 9.30am restriction, but there doesn't seem to be any restriction out of Paddington in the afternoon peak. Can anyone clarify whether this is the case? If so, this seems amazing value compared to several walk-on fares for commuters.

National Rail Enquiries website says nothing about evening peak, however FGW^▸ 's website does list the barred trains:

So, yes it is valid in the evening peak, but only on 'slow' trains.

You should also remember that the network card and tickets bought with it are not valid before 10.00 on Mon-Fri
