Does anyone know if its possible to purchase rail rovers for collection
from a ticket machine? I'm after a 3 day Freedom of Seven and Solent.

GWR and SWR will post them but I'm travelling tomorrow.

What is the industry going to do if the Westminster "government" closes
ticket offices?

But surely you have one of these modern contraptions, known I think as a
Smartphone. Have it delivered to that.

Continue to turn the screw of making rail travel less and less
attractive.
