Those that purchase rover tickets will know that the products available today have been around, generally unchanged (other than price) for many years.
Which got me thinking? If you had a blank canvas, what rovers would you come up with today? Are there any areas of Britain where you would like to see a new, or different rover product to be introduced?
For me, there are a couple of areas that could benefit from the introduction of some form of rail rover;
1) South West Trains
Although there are rovers that cover the more westerly parts of SWT territory, there is nothing that covers the patch nearer to London. There are many tourist attractions in that part of the world and I personally think a rover ticket would be of benefit.
2) Essex & south Anglia
Again, no rover covers those routes out of Liverpool Street. Whilst there may not be as much tourist potential, I'm sure there would be a market for such a product.
Any other ideas?
