One problem that does certainly appear frequently with rover stock here is the staff print them on the wrong stock!
Take the Freedom of South Wales 3 in 7 Day Rover, for example. I use them a lot (usually 3 times a month!), as I don't have to shell out £12.50 a week for a bus ticket on top of all rail fares then. For £19.80 (with Y-P off-peak season, £23.10 outside it), it represents excellent value for money, allowing 3 days (or more
) rail travel in those 7 days, as well as 7 days of bus travel on buses in South Wales. The latter is used when I go to work and back, the rail bit comes in handy when I go on a spotting trip to Newport.
Now we know what it basically is, you may or may not know that there are Freedom of Wales Flexi Pass rover ticket stock, on which the South Wales 3 in 7, 7 day, North and Mid Wales and All Wales rover tickets are supposed to be printed on. I don't have a link to a picture of it, but I'm sure some people know what it looks like.
Of course, most of the time I buy one, Swansea's staff have an annoying lack of knowledge, and print it on Rail Rover stock (does someone know which sort I mean?), not the Flexi Pass stock. As a result, when you come to use it on the bus, the bus drivers (perhaps understandably) don't know what it is and assume it's not valid on their bus. The amount of times I've had to explain what it is, and made to look like I don't know what I'm talking about...Then comes the rare day when they print it on the Flexi Pass stock, I nearly exclaimed 'YES! About time!' out loud, but I refrained from doing so.
That's my rover ticket stock story anyway, if a lengthy one.
