Does anyone have any experience with this Rover / Ranger product, in particular which bus services are included?
The GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) website has a link for bus services that refers you to Cotswold AONB▸ (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty).
This Cotswold AONB website states 'Please contact Johnson’s (sic) and Stagecoach directly to find out which routes the Discoverer Pass may be used on', although doesn't give any contact details.
On calling Stagecoach West at Gloucester, I was advised to contact GWR. Johnsons don't appear to answer their phone.  And GWR at Gloucester didn't know.
Any help appreciated.

Since Pulhams & Swinbrook pulled out of the scheme, it's use is pretty limited....I understand that talks are happening with bus companies again to try & relaunch the product. I don't know the answer to your question - the info may be on the respective bus companies website (I suspect not) & you'll probably need to ask them
