Is anyone familiar with this ticket, and more to the point does anyone know the exact area it covers please? I understand from the website that it costs £14 for an adult, but have found nothing on there that confirms its area of validity - and elsewhere on the Internet, I have found conflicting information. Some places have said Norfolk and Suffolk only, some have included the X1 to Peterborough, some have included Essex...

I really don't know. If anyone can give a definite answer as to the exact validity of this ticket, it would be appreciated. I suspect that it covers Norfolk, Suffolk and the X1, but may be wrong.

I remember when the forerunner of this ticket, the Bus Ranger, cost just £4 (and definitely covered from King's Lynn right through to Southend).. Those were the days :lol:

I believe Norfolk/Suffolk and X1 to Peterborough also and the driver on my X1 2 weeks ago thought so too...though I had a rail add-on for £6 from Peterborough to Dereham which seemed very cheap. Handily stopped right by the Dereham steam railway too. I couldn't believe when I found out it was £14 as it's even more expensive than the very expensive Stagecoach East Goldrider. Makes me grateful for my Arriva Surrey Explorer still valid in most of Southern England for £6.80. I note that the Stagecoach Oxford Goldrider is a 24hour ticket unlike any other Goldrider that I know of. Its about time other Goldriders became 24hrs.
