It's actually quite a good value deal! £33, and you get 3 days of unlimited travel out of 7 consecutive days in the rover area, including Edinburgh-Glasgow. Given that Edinburgh-Glasgow is only a bit short of £11 off peak day return, I'd say that's a great deal. And, considering my local station is now included (following the completion of the Airdrie-Bathgate rail link), that's going to be a really good ticket.

Now, here's a problem. Let's have a look at the maps valid for the rover. Here's the one on the National Rail website, and here's the one on the Scotrail website. I'm sure you'll all realise that they don't quite concur!

The Scotrail one shows tickets as being valid via Shotts to Glasgow Central. This is not shown on the NR one. The NR one shows tickets as being valid all the way around the Fife Circle; the Scotrail one suggests that they're only valid on the coast line (via Kinghorn). Thankfully, they seem to concur on everything else.

Anyone know what routes this is actually valid on?

I have had a look through my ( pretty old, 1996! ) ticket examiners handbook, and it shows the rover as being valid for the whole Fife Circle, as does a more recent (2005) commercial pack.

Thanks very much. Seems odd not to allow it on Scotrail services via Motherwell (ie, Glasgow-North Berwick trains). But if they're all permitted, that's great.
