I am having trouble buying these tickets in advance of a trip to Wales. I 
have bought Scottish Rovers from Scotrail over the phone, but I can't buy 
the South Wales Rover from Arriva Trains Wales Telesales, Gt Western 
Telesales or my local TOC Telesales. Have any of you folks any ideas (other 
than wait until I get to Wales)?

Any manned railway station should be able to supply them even if out of 
area- I bought a Coasts and Peaks Rover way out of area, no problem today, 
as I normally do.

My local Southern Stations have quite happily sold me out of area ranger  
tickets before.

 Any staffed ticket office can sell them, I've bought several from SWT
stations with no problems.

My local southern station were completely clueless when it came to
issuing rover tickets. They've got the new PC based systems but they
could seem to find the Rover menu...
