Took this route a few weeks ago, was very cute, but not quite enough trains a day for the hop on and off ticket to make a lot of sense.

Your so not sorry! Been on the train though?

I have as it happens although not since 20th June 2012. I think we just went Hythe - Dungeness - Hythe. Few heritage/preserved lines run a frequent enough timetable for “rover” tickets to make much sense unless you’re going to just ride up and down without stopping. It looks good on the promotional bumf though. Like museums with the ubiquitous “unlimited visits for a whole year” tickets, it sounds good but how many people are really going to make multiple visits?

yeah though the summer timetable does make it look a little more usable.
