It seems that GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) have, at the most recent revision, removed the following Ranger tickets from sale

Maritime Line Ranger (Falmouth)
Atlantic Coast Line Ranger (Newquay)
Looe Valley Line Ranger
and
Tamar Valley Line Ranger (Gunnislake)

the only remaining one in Cornwall being St Ives.

A retrograde step in my view.

The Devon evening ranger has been withdrawn in the same process.

They do, and not only that, prices are unchanged from last year.

They are becoming a remarkably good deal.  Last year I had a 14-day Standard class one for £509.50 with a Senior Railcard and got over 6,500 miles travel out of it, giving an average cost of under 8p per mile.

Of course, to cover that amount of distance you need to enjoy the travelling more than the destination! Smiley
