Hi All,
We've got a new quiz for you all, the idea for this came from user [m=maniacmartin]15048[/m], the idea of the game is to come up with a journey that involves travelling with every train operating company (TOC).
Here's the explanation from Martin:
To clarify:
Good Luck!

We've got a new quiz for you all, the idea for this came from user [m=maniacmartin]15048[/m], the idea of the game is to come up with a journey that involves travelling with every train operating company (TOC).
Here's the explanation from Martin:
maniacmartin said:I have a question that's been bugging me for a while.
What's the cheapest ticket combination and itinerary that you know of that includes travel on ALL TOCs? Lowest result wins!
For this question, a TOC is a member of ATOC, not a brand of a train operation company, so Southern and Gatwick Express are the same etc. You can buy rovers, rangers, travelcards, seasons and railcards BUT NOT ADVANCE AP tickets out of the budget, and can't buy a railcard that has eligibility criteria. You can BoJ or start/finish short if the ticket permits it.
All travel must be covered by the tickets - you cannot walk between stations, except for an official OSI.
To clarify:
- 'All Line Rovers' are excluded, these may not be used.
- The railcard rule is that you may buy a Network Railcard (for example) however you may not buy a 16-25 railcard as this has age eligibility criteria.
- The price of the railcard has to be included in your final sum.
- You may not purchase 'Advance' or 'Advance First' tickets, nor any other ticket that has to be purchased in advance of travel, you may only buy walk up tickets.
Good Luck!
TP
