    Appeal to those in the know in 'GOC' - does the 'West Yorkshire Rover' still exist?
    As far as I can see it's a great value hop on hop off ticket but I think only available for purchase once within the GOC region?
    Last I could see (an online post dated Feb2021, not here) was ~£10 for the day, or even cheaper for groups of 5...

    Many thanks, jim

    Thanks Quinno, though that link was to 2018 - just trying to establish that it does still exist before saying to a larger group that that's the way to go! Cheers!

    The Northern sale mentioned above ends today
    On leaving the bar, I felt a strong blow to the back of my head. Turning round, I discovered it was the pavement

    Yes, I see what you mean, but it's not entirely clear.

    "WY DaySaver Train
    Where to buy:*Prepaid Ticket from a Rail Station Ticket Office

    Concessionary Train DaySaver
    Where to buy:*Prepaid Ticket from a Rail Station Ticket Office"

    Does this mean we can call in at any railway station anywhere and ask for a WY Train DaySaver (or concessionary equivalent), or do we have to be in Yorkshire, or more specifically in West Yorkshire?

    So for example, I can get 50% off train travel in South Yorkshire because my concessionary travel card is issued by an authority within South Yorkshire. But if I want to get a West Yorkshire Concessionary Train DaySaver do I have to get off a train at Wakefield Westgate and buy one there, or can I ask for it at Sheffield station? And does Jim, as a non-Yorkshireman, have to do the same or can he request it at his local station in Heathenland?*

    It would be so much easier if all public transport was free to anyone anywhere! These "special tickets" seem to be deliberately complicated in an effort to put people off asking for them...
