Hi Guys,

Tomorrow I am looking at going from Tiverton Parkway - Netley in the AM returning tomorrow afternoon.

However I may end up finishing early in Netley and go to Poole.

What would be the Cheapest way of doing this? (I'm thinking FoSS Ranger)

This is quite a strange one. You can go to Poole via Netley on maps WE+BB. However, there's no any permitted ticket, only via Salisbury or Dorchester. So although there's a mapped route, it's impossible to use it :roll:

If you're able to use the third day, it's quite good value for the area covered. The day return to Netley is two thirds of the cost on its own.

Ok but it would be valid for - Tiverton P/way - Netley then Netley - Poole and Poole back to Tiverton P/way ??

Yep no Exeter, Basingstoke or Reading would be allowed.

Just using normal tickets I think the only way to accomplish what you wish to is either the slow route out via Dorchester or out via Salisbury with a change of route, but yes the FOSS to me seems like the better option although at the moment I have no idea how much fares from Tiviton will be.

TVP - Netley rtn is £20.50

Where are you getting that from? NFM12 says £41 return, so I must be missing something.

Edit: Oops! I must read people's posts better. That's at the child rate. :oops:
Edit2: And you beat me to it as well!

A Freedom of the Severn & Solent is £21.00, only an extra 50p on top of a Tiverton Parkway - Netley return.

Personally i would choose the FOSS
