Saltash Rail Users Group
SRUG was founded in 2006 and exists to represent the views of passengers and potential rail users in Saltash. We also aim to improve the awareness of and use of the train services in Saltash - with support from partners we publish a local timetable for Saltash and distribute it throughout the town and surrounding area.
The station now is served by 12 to 15 trains in each direction every weekday, and it is an increasingly popular and well used facility.
SRUG depends on the continuing support and help from the local community - to get involved please join and help in any way you can - most of all by USING THE TRAINS !
Rangers and Rovers
Rover Tickets are available for post 9am travel on any 3 days in 7, or 8 days in 15, and allow you free travel in a specified area. These can be a real bargain – for example if you need to travel to Bristol twice in a week the South West Rover costs £70 for any 3 days in 7 so you can get two days off peak return to Bristol for £30 and another day of free travel anywhere from Penzance to Cardiff, Swindon or Portsmouth.
In fact with the standard off-peak fare to Southampton at £85 it is cheaper to buy a Rover ticket for a single journey !
Ranger Tickets cover a smaller area for a single day. The Cornwall Ranger extends in to Plymouth, but the Devon Ranger only comes as far as St.Budeaux so you need to add a £1.70 cheap day return to St.Budeaux to use it from Saltash. Both cost £10 and you can get some railcard discounts. Cheap day return fares within Cornwall are mostly less than £10 but if you need to make two journeys in a day these are a bargain.
You can buy Rangers and Rovers at a ticket office (Plymouth or Liskeard) or over the phone – they can not be purchased on the train.
