Hi, enquiry on behalf of a friend.
They want to use the rail network to do the following journeys.
Glasgow to Birmingham.
Birmingham to Exeter.
Exeter to Southampton.
Heathrow to Glasgow..
They have a Railcard and would be travelling over the last 2 weeks of Oct.
Is there such a thing as a roaming ticket they could purchase or is the only option to buy each journey individually?
Tnx.
Edit: Rail travel 12th -15thOct and 1st Nov.

All Line Rail Rover (14 days)

I suspect this won't be value in the slightest though but it would allow him some level of flexibility that Advance tickets would not.1 -
Thanks, my mistake their cruise is just over 2 weeks so they need the tickets between 12th and 15th and again 1st Nov so the span is more like 3 weeks.la531983 said:All Line Rail Rover (14 days)

Crikey, as you intimated, those prices are eye watering versus the actual usage they need.0 -
Yes they aren't cheap.
If they are joining a cruise in Southampton that seems a strange itinerary, why the need to go to Birmingham and Exeter first?. And assume it's a flight back from where the cruise ends?
No other all line ticket exists as far as I know so advance singles are the way to be going here.
If they knocked off the Birmingham and Exeter visits they could look at flying to Southampton I suppose.1 -

Ah OK so using the trip south as an excuse to see other people, fair enough.ccluedo said:

Advance singles it is then. Flying back from Heathrow to Glasgow, have they considered that as an option?1
