As posted elsewhere, we are a few days into a 14 day All Line Rover.
When we bought the tickets, the system also printed date matrix cards.
I have had these before with a 3in7 day rover (makes sense) but could not understand why we got them with an ALR, which is clearly for consecutive days as marked on the ticket itself.
My question here is- whats the point??
We managed to travel on sixteen trains on Saturday and Sunday until we boarded a train at Exeter when the conductor very abruptly asked to see the date matrix cards. We then had to sit and fill in the dates to keep her quiet.
Got through all of today without needing them either, so clearly can't universally required.
