For tickets - about) Zone: 1. Didcot - Newbury and Newbury Winchester obviously wired 2. Fareham - Gosport 3. Kingham- Cheltenham 4. Andover - Marlborough - Swindon- cirencester and cheltenham 5. Somerset and Dorset 6. Patney to Holt via Devizes 7. Sharpness line more to follow and hello group i am new hugo
